UT – SCHOLARSHIP 2011 IN NEUROSCIENCE – GERMANY
PhD Scholarships 2011 for International Students in Graduate Training Centre of Neuroscience at the University of Tuebingen, Germany.
About the University:
Founded in 1477, the University of Tübingen is a prime location for
academic studies and research. A full range of disciplines and a high
standard of research, both in the sciences and the humanities, contribute
to its international reputation. The University offers a wide range of
cross-disciplinary events and sponsors many cultural highlights in the city.
Today 23,000 students – many of whom are international students – are
enrolled in approximately 60 courses.
Detail:
The fi rst international neuroscience Graduate School was established at
the University of Tübingen in 1999. In the future, three Schools will provide
research oriented career tracks – leading to a master or doctoral
degree – that provide an ideal preparation for a career in science and
academia. The three graduate programs will complement one another
at best and, thus, provide a markedly broad sprectrum of neuroscience
research and training opportunities in Tübingen. Teaching is entirely in
English.
