Neurophysics master at Radboud University and the Donders Institute, Nijmegen, Netherlands

• Study the brain and artificial neural networks through the lens of mathematical modeling and physics. 
• This 2-year masters—unique in Europe—provides a rigorous theoretical foundation in neural systems using methods from experimental physics, machine learning, and computational modelling. 
• Advances in network theory—illustrated by recent physics Nobel Prizes (Hinton, Hopfield, Parisi)— and brain imaging technologies are expanding research opportunities in this developing field. 
• Open to students from physics, science, or related backgrounds (computer science, mathematics, engineering), and awards a master degree in physics. All courses are taught in English. 

Curriculum 

• Courses in Computational Neuroscience, Machine Learning, Theory of Brain Machine Interfaces, Neurobiophysics, Theory of Complex Systems, Neural Data Analysis, and many more. 
• By choosing Data Science electives, the master can include an 18 EC Data Science Minor. 
• Many elective neuroscience courses across campus (incl. Cognitive Neuroscience / AI master). 

Studying at Radboud University and the Donders Institute 

• Radboud University is one of Europe’s leading universities in Neuroscience (#7 at research.com). 
• Courses are taught by faculty from the Donders institute for brain, cognition and behavior. 
• The Donders institute hosts more than 100 world-class neuroscience departments, offering rich internship choices for neurophysics students. 
• Access to cutting-edge technology: invasive neural recordings, state-of-the-art MRI, and large-scale neurotechnology initiatives like NeurotechEU and the Dutch Brain Interface Initiative. 

Career prospects 

• Trains students with a quantitative, multidisciplinary background and prepares for careers in: 

·         Neuroscience, computational neuroscience, neuroAI, physics. 

·         Neurotechnology, neuroprosthetics, biomedical technology. 

·         Data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence. neuromorphic computing technologies.
