Course content

This course aims to provide you with in-depth theoretical and practical learning activities in the subject of neuroscience.

You will initially receive theoretical instruction through lectures and seminars. These are led by experienced researchers and clinicians.

Together with a supervisor, you will identify a neuroscience research project, and you will write a project plan. You will then practically carry out the project in the supervisor's research environment. The research project is then reported both in writing and orally. Peer review included. During the course, you participate in seminars, group discussions and "journal clubs", which are part of the course's portfolio. All activities in the portfolio require active preparation, for example in the form of reading and reviewing distributed material.

Your examination tasks include written examination (3 HP), course portfolio (12 HP), and presentation of project work that includes peer review (15 HP).
