Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences

International Master!s Programme

Study Programme2014 - 2016

The University of Regensburg offers a Master's of Science (M.Sc.)programme in "Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences" . is sponsored(ECN) Itby the Elite Network Bavaria (ENB) as part of the excellence initiative of theofState of Bavaria. The programme was established in April 2006 and wassuccessfully evaluated by a panel of distinguished neuroscientists in 2010.

The ECN programme is a registered member of the Network of EuropeanNeuroscience Schools (NENS). NENS was founded in 2003 and is a structure ofthe Federation of European Neurosciences Societies (FENS). NENS representsover 130 graduate schools in neuroscience. Membership of NENS helps toensure high quality standards and provides a number of benefits for studentsincluding training stipends and participation in annual meetings.

The ECN programme provide excellent students with the basic-to-sadvanced knowledge and skills that meet the credit requirements for aUniversity Master's of Sciences (M.Sc.) degree. The programme stronglyemphasizes interdisciplinary research in neuroscience. International researchacitivities are promoted by existing international cooperations with excellentresearch laboratories in many countries. Being an elite programme it providesintensive supervision and research opportunities that stimulate rapid learning ofrelevant knowledge and skills.

This brochure provides an overview for our new students. Furtherinformation can be obtained on the web site of the ECN:

Study Programme 2014 - 2016

Preface

The Elite Master's of Science (M.Sc.) study programme in "Experimentaland Clinical Neurosciences" ECN , provides candidates with basic to advanced( )knowledge and laboratory skills needed for a successful career in research andapplied fields of neuroscience. As implied by the title of this programme thecourse work is interdisciplinary in nature. will be divided into three mainItstreams of scientific activity:

CLN

SYSMCN

The Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience (MCN)module is concerned with fundamentals of

neuroscience.

The module dealsSystemic Neuroscience (SYS)with regulatory, behavioural, and cognitive systems

in both humans and animal models.

The module coversClinical Neuroscience (CLN)neurological, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative

disorders.

Goals

ECN student Dora Panyi talking with PD Dr. David Slattery and Dr.Juan Navarro during the ECN Opening in 2013.

ECN students arriving at the Bavarian Forest for a weekendseminar in neuroscience.

The regular course work takes place over three academic semesters. Thecourse work consists of:

· Lectures (L): basic and advanced· Seminars (S)· Tutorials (T)· 3 Methodological Practica (MPr): 3 weeks each· 3 Project Practica (PPr): 6-8 weeks each· Weekend Seminars (WS): off campus, specialized topics· Master's Thesis: six months

The lectures, seminars, and tutorials will be conducted in three blocks (A,B, C). Each block lasts three weeks. Additional courses will be held during themethodological practica. Regular attendance and active participation will beexpected from each student. At the end of each block a written examination willbe given to test your newly acquired knowledge (see pages 6-8). In addition,three final oral exams will be held at the end of the second semester. Successfulparticipation in each course and test will be rewarded by credit points (CP). Atotal of 90 CP is required to fulfill the requirements for the M.Sc. degree. The CPwill be assigned according to the following scheme:

· 8 CP for Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience (MCN)· 8 CP for Systemic Neuroscience (SYS)· 8 CP for Clinical Neuroscience (CLN)· 6 CP (x 3) for each of the oral exams (MCN, SYS, CLN)· 6 CP (x 3) for each of the Project Practica (PPr)· 30 CP for the Master's Thesis and defence= 90 CP in total

(corresponding to 120 ECTS in a 4 semester programme)
