A successful Master's degree in Neuroscience provides evidence that you have diversified theoretical and practical skills and are able to deal with sophisticated and extensive assignments in the field of neuroscience. As the degree program is taught in English, graduates are qualified to work in an international job market. The large number of possible module combinations and individual curricula offers students to specialise for a variety of career paths in academia, as well as the public and private sector. For instance, a scientific-leading position in the pharmaceutical industry, managing occupations in research, or education orientated administration are within reach. Students that are enthusiastic about research should consider doing a PhD and lay their focus on research modules.

Sensory Neuroscience orientated curricula certify your qualification for neuroprosthetics/ neurotechnology, and modules on molecular neuroscience qualify for a position in the pharmaceutical/ medical industry. Students that are interested in data science or data management can elect modules related to data analysis and computational neuroscience. An occupation in the field of science communication or science journalism is also a possibility for students that discover their fascination for the respective skills modules or the offered science communication workshop. Within these diverse fields, you can acquire different positions, e.g. as researcher, developer, project manager, consultant or educator.

The annual “Career Day Neuroscience” gives graduates the opportunity to get an overview of possible occupational areas and connects them to neuroscientists working in the industry and in research. The elective “External Research Module” further allows students to perform an internship at an external company or research institution.
