Dear colleagues,

I would like to point your attention to our renovated Master's program in
Neurophysics at Radboud University Nijmegen. The program is hosted within
the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behavior and is an ideal
setting for students with a Physics, exact sciences background who
wish to learn
about the brain and pursue a career in brain research and neurotechnology.

*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.
