Research projects
All students of the Master's programme in Brain and Cognitive Sciences have to conduct two research projects. These are a mandatory part of the Master's programme. The student will conduct the research project independently, but will be supervised by a professor, post-doc or PhD.
The objective of the research projects is to provide students with an opportunity to acquire practical experience by scientific research methods, to learn the different phases of research, to conduct a research project independently (they will be able to set it up, carry it out and round it off with a scientific report) and to learn to work in a research lab. Students get an opportunity to participate in all stages of scientific research, including the development of a research question, designing the experiment and the selection of the research methods to address the question, data collection and analysis, the interpretation of the data, and discussion.
Below you find a list of some of the research labs and universities where our past students have conducted their research project.
