The curriculum consists of six Master modules and two research-oriented internships. Besides hands-on skills in special techniques, basics for independent scientific work will be conveyed. Graduates of this Master programme are ideally qualified for their later working life and qualified to embark on a doctorate. One broad career field is research & diagnostics of neurodegenerative diseases in the clinical setting, at universities and pharmaceutical industries. Further areas of employment are work at scientific publishers or in scientific coordination. A doctorate improves the prospects for responsible work and is q prerequisite for an academic career. The workload ist equivalent to 120 ECTS.
