Stopień magistra z neurobiologii

The Master's Degree in Neurobiology  is an English-taught 2-year program that provides students who have first-level training in the biological or biotechnological field, with in-depth knowledge of the morpho-functional organization of the nervous system, the cellular and molecular correlates of neural functions, and modalities in which these functions are realized at the systemic level, as well as on the neurobiological bases of the pathologies of the nervous system.

The course aims to allow the acquisition, not only of cognitive training but also of specific skills such as:

• Modalities governing experimental and applied neurobiological research, regarding its recent trends, and the technologies it relies on.
• Applications of neurobiological knowledge and techniques in the industrial, bio-system, and bioinformatics fields.

The primary objective of the training course will be to highlight the fundamental problems in the neuroscientific field (integrated functions, cellular mechanisms, genetic and molecular substrates, bases of pathological processes), underlining the importance of multidisciplinary approaches for the progress of knowledge.

The main areas of study are:

• Neuromorphology and cellular and development neurobiology;
• Neurophysiology and neurobehavior;
• Neuropharmacology;
• Neurogenetic-molecular subjects;
• Neurology and neuropathology;
• Bioinformatics

The University of Pavia. Advancing Knowledge since 1361

The University of Pavia is one of the world’s oldest Academic Institutions . It was founded in 825 as a “School of law, rhetoric and liberal arts” by King Lothair I, and in 1361 it was officially established as a “Universitas Studiorum” by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. Thanks to the reforms implemented during the 18th century by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and her son Joseph II, the University of Pavia became one of the foremost in Europe, boasting an impressive number of famous Alumni, celebrated Academicians and Nobel Prizes .

Nowadays the University of Pavia is an Internationalisation-driven University which participates in agreements with worldwide esteemed institutions, an advanced Research University which promotes innovative interdisciplinary projects, and a Job-oriented University which creates powerful networks and strong business chances.
