Study Programme 2014 - 2016
Preface
The University of Regensburg offers a Master's of Science (M.Sc.)
programme in "Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences" (ECN). It is sponsored
by the Elite Network of Bavaria (ENB) as part of the excellence initiative of the
State of Bavaria. The programme was established in April 2006 and was
successfully evaluated by a panel of distinguished neuroscientists in 2010.
The ECN programme is a registered member of the Network of European
Neuroscience Schools (NENS). NENS was founded in 2003 and is a structure of
the Federation of European Neurosciences Societies (FENS). NENS represents
over 130 graduate schools in neuroscience. Membership of NENS helps to
ensure high quality standards and provides a number of benefits for students
including training stipends and participation in annual meetings.
The ECN programme provides excellent students with the basic-toadvanced knowledge and skills that meet the credit requirements for a
University Master's of Sciences (M.Sc.) degree. The programme strongly
emphasizes interdisciplinary research in neuroscience. International research
acitivities are promoted by existing international cooperations with excellent
research laboratories in many countries. Being an elite programme it provides
intensive supervision and research opportunities that stimulate rapid learning of
relevant knowledge and skills.
This brochure provides an overview for our new students. Further
information can be obtained on the web site of the ECN:

Experimental and Clinical Neurosciences
Study Programme 2014 - 2016
Goals
The Elite Master's of Science (M.Sc.) study programme in "Experimental
and Clinical Neurosciences" (ECN), provides candidates with basic to advanced
knowledge and laboratory skills needed for a successful career in research and
applied fields of neuroscience. As implied by the title of this programme the
course work is interdisciplinary in nature. It will be divided into three main
streams of scientific activity:
MCN
SYS
CLN
The Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience (MCN)
module is concerned with fundamentals of
neuroscience.
The Systemic Neuroscience (SYS) module deals
with regulatory, behavioural, and cognitive systems
in both humans and animal models.
The Clinical Neuroscience (CLN) module covers
neurological, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative
disorders.

Study Programme 2014 - 2016
Curriculum
The regular course work takes place over three academic semesters. The
course 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 the
methodological practica. Regular attendance and active participation will be
expected from each student. At the end of each block a written examination will
be 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. Successful
participation in each course and test will be rewarded by credit points (CP). A
total of 90 CP is required to fulfill the requirements for the M.Sc. degree. The CP
will be assigned according to the following scheme:
