The specialisation Molecular and Medical Neuroscience (previously labeled as Neurobiology) provides comprehensive, research-oriented training that employs cutting-edge technologies to address neurobiological questions and their analysis at the molecular level. The course work consists of a series of lectures designed to provide students with in-depth theoretical background, a set of practical courses aimed at enhancing the students' technical and analytical skills, and a master thesis to develop the students' ability to conduct independent scientific research and to write up and present their scientific results.

The target group for this major is bachelor's graduates in a biology-related subject with an interest in scientific research in current topics in neuro- and cell biology. The research focus includes the following topics: Alzheimer's disease, eletrophysiology and synapse formation.
