Behavioural Neurobiology / Neuroethology, Master of Science in Biology

["The programme gives an overview of the fields of neurobiology, behavioural physiology and sociobiology. This includes aspects of neurogenetics and behaviour as well as the interaction of individuals in social groups. The students learn basic principles of how the brain controls behaviour and of chronobiology/endogenous clocks. They also learn integrative approaches to elucidate complex correlations in the field of behavioural biology. They obtain insight into current research in the field. The two topics selected provide both theoretical and experimental skills. Each topic consists of two theory modules and a practical course unit. Further specialised research training is provided in a selected field of interest. The students are actively involved in ongoing research projects. They learn to independently plan and perform both theoretical and experimental work and finally, to summarise and discuss their obtained results."]
