15 PhD programmes in Neuroscience in Germany

The Volition and Cognitive Control research group at TU Dresden combines expertise from experimental psychology, cognitive-affective neuroscience and neuroimaging, clinical psychology, psychiatry and neurology to investigate mechanisms, modulators, and dysfunctions of volitional control on psychological and neural levels of analysis.

The Exploring Brain Mechanics research group at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) aims to exploit mechanics-based approaches to advance understanding of CNS function and, as a long-term vision, to provide the foundation for future improvement of diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders.

The doctoral program "Sensory and Motor Neuroscience" is a member of the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB). It is hosted by the University of Göttingen, the Max Planck Institute for Self-Organization and Dynamics, and the German Primate Center.

Become a member of the ever-growing neuroscientific community in Leipzig with this Brain Dynamics research programme at Leipzig University.

The Systemic Neurosciences programme from Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich will help in educating a new generation of neuroscientists not only to have the ability to develop new approaches and methods, but also to possess a broad understanding of the complexity of the scientific subject and a profound knowledge of the theory of science.

The Synaptic Micronetworks in Health and Disease research group at the University of Bonn is committed to identifying fundamental rules that govern the dynamics of neuronal behavior at the network level, and the translation of neuronal network dynamics to mammalian and human behavior.

After a three-year doctoral program in Neurosciences at University of Göttingen, the title Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) or Dr. rer. nat. respectively can be earned. 

The doctoral program "Systems Neuroscience" is a member of the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB), offered at The University of Göttingen. 

The graduate program "Theoretical and Computational Neuroscience" is a member of the Göttingen Graduate Center for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences (GGNB), offered at The University of Göttingen. 

The Doctoral Training Program (DTP) at Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich is one central training component of the MCLS, the Munich Center of the Learning Sciences. 

The Bonn International Graduate School of Neuroscience at the University of Bonn is committed to providing a top-level, internationally competitive program in the rapidly developing field of neuroscience.

The processing of sensory information from the eye, ear, or tactile system into its "internal representation" will be investigated, analysed and modelled with a multidisciplinary approach. We offer a Neurosensory Science and Systems degree at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.

The mission of the Neurodevelopment and Vulnerability of the Central Nervous System research training group (RTG) at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) is to further the development of prevention and treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases of adulthood through a deeper understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms.

The main goal of the doctoral programme in Neurosciences offered by the Interdisciplinary Center for Neurosciences at Heidelberg University is to promote the quality of science performed by its members, boost collaboration, provide joint service units, and contribute to the integration of basic and clinical neurosciences. 

The Bernstein Center Freiburg (BCF) offers a multi-disciplinary, international PhD program in Computational Neuroscience of Brain Disease at University of Freiburg.
