Overview

This means that Behavioural and Cognitive Neurosciences advocate interdisciplinary research and that you will meet a lot of PhD students at University of Groningen who do not necessarily have the same background as you have.

Features

BCN does not expect you to be able to collaborate with all of them, but would like to educate you in such a way that you will have an understanding for other disciplines and that you can communicate with scientists from other disciplines.

This multidisciplinary aspect is the basis of some of the BCN standard courses.
