Description Contents Requirements

The Masters programme in Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology is aimed at students holding a Bachelors Degree in chemistry or biology and who wish to study the molecular function of the nervous system. The programme aims to provide students with a sound multidisciplinary background in neurochemistry, molecular neurobiology, peptide chemistry and recombinant techniques. The programme is closely connected with research at the Department of Neurochemistry and designed to cover most specializations within neurochemistry with molecular neurobiology including the molecular mechanisms behind neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimers disease and polyglutamine disorders as well as cancer in the nervous system.

The programme consists of one compulsory course and at least three specialized courses which can be chosen among five courses, up to 30 credits freely chosen elective courses and a Degree Project which is conducted in a research group at the Department of Neurochemistry.

The programme provides a good platform for further graduate studies or for a professional career, both in Sweden and internationally.

The programme comprises one compulsory course (15 higher education credits), at least three eligible advanced
courses (45 higher education credits) and a compulsory degree project of at least 30 higher education credits.
There is additional scope for optional academic courses.

The programme is intimately connected with research
work at the Department of Neurochemistry and is designed to cover most specializations within neurochemistry
with molecular neurobiology. The programme offers knowledge and skills that form a good foundation for
research education and for a professional career, both domestically and internationally. It is useful, e.g., for
continued work in pharmaceutical industry
