Summary

We are conscious, we sense, we feel and we act because of our brains. The brain coordinates and is affected by bodily functions, and it integrates the information about the outside world conveyed by our senses – it is the most central player in the physiology of the whole body. Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary field that studies the brain and the entire nervous system at different levels of organisation, from genes and molecules to nerve cells and networks; and beyond. The focus of a neuroscientist’s research may lie in understanding the neurobiological bases of behaviour, analysing the functional roles of a single molecule, or developing new treatments for neurological disorders or sensory deficits.

In the Master's Programme in Neuroscience at the University of Helsinki, you get the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in a scientifically vibrant international environment. You are taught by scientists who will provide you with a wide spectrum of opportunities both for practical training and for becoming integrated into the stimulating neuroscience community. When you graduate, you will master the essentials of neuroscience and physiology and have a deeper knowledge and skills in the subfields of your choice.

The Master's Programme in Neuroscience has three study tracks to choose from: 1) neuroscience, 2) physiology and 3) biology teacher.
