China is incredibly interesting because of the development going on there. I've always been really fascinated by China and the Chinese culture because it's so different from mine. I'm mainly looking forward to the challenge and excitement of moving to another country. I'm also really looking forward to getting to work on my studies and being able to concentrate on neuroscience.

Majbritt Lückmann, forthcoming student at Neuroscience and Neuroimaging

Neuroscience has in the past decades emerged as a fast expanding field of expert studies that encompass and combine other scientific fields from molecules to imaging.

Presently, neuroimaging is developing rapidly and is relevant to a number of health science disciplines and has a great impact on the understanding, diagnosis and possible treatment of different devastating neurological diseases.

Study profile
The SDC Master’s programme in Neuroscience and Neuroimaging is developed by active researchers from both Denmark and China – uniting the most recent research, modern technology, and problemoriented learning methods. This programme is based in China.

The unique combination of advanced imaging techniques and a broad knowledge in basic and clinical neuroscience topics enables the students to join the growing field of neuroscience and neuroimaging as well as fill the rising demand for graduates specialised in neuroimaging due to the increasing worldwide availability of high-resolution scanners.

Through the inclusion of top researchers as guest lecturers, students will be introduced to the latest advances in neuroscience research and techniques.

You will obtain knowledge in:

– Molecular, cellular, and clinical neuroscience
– Various neuroimaging technologies including ultra sound, X-ray/CT, PET /SPECT, EEG , MEG and fMRI
– Advanced uses of neuroimaging modalities
– Hardware design for fMRI and PET scanners
– Model systems used in neuroscience

Career opportunities
Graduates are expected to be in high demand due to their unique education and cross-cultural insight. They are anticipated to be employed in industrial R & D positions, academic research and/or clinical positions at neuro-oriented hospital departments or join neuroscience PhD schools at universities in Denmark and abroad.

Admission requirements
Students with a Bachelor’s degree from a suitable major can enter the Master’s degree programme.

BSc degrees granting admission can be divided in 3 groups depending on the level of anatomical, mathematical, physiological, and digital signal processing and analysis skills of the student:

1. Passed mathematics and digital signal processing and analysis. Eligible degrees include technical BSc degrees e.g. Electro-, Healthcare Technology-, Biomedical-Engineering, and Medicine and Technology Engineering as well as some natural science BSc degrees e.g. Physics, Nanoscience, Medical chemistry, or equivalent.

2. Passed neuroanatomy and physiology. Eligible BSc degrees include: Medicine, Pharmacology, Biomedicine, Molecular Medicine, Molecular Biomedicine, or equivalent.

3. Passed physiology and mathematics. Eligible BSc degrees include: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Biology, or equivalent. General English language requirements (’English B level’).

Kandidatuddannelsen i Neuroscience og Neuroimaging er målrettet studerende, som har lyst til at kombinere neuroscience og moderne højteknologi til at skabe de nye teknologier og terapiformer, der skal hjælpe det voksende antal patienter med hjernelidelser.
