Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The objective of Master programme in Neurobiology is to educate specialists for independent work in research and education in areas of neurosciences, electrophysiology, psychopharmacology etc.
Learning outcomes:
•master of Sciences in Neurobiology should know the general principles of structure, function and pathology of nervous system;
•should be able to study the latest neuroscience related literature;
•to identify and analyze neuroscience related problems;
•should know the scope of application, advantages and disadvantages of modern scientific and clinical investigation techniques;
•should be able to work individually and in team, transfer knowledge to professionals and nonprofessionals;
•be able to identify own scientific interests in a context of modern life science, to learn continuously, improve and update their knowledge and skills, seek for new ones.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Lectures, laboratory work, practical training, seminars, consultations, self-study.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The main form of evaluation is an examination. However, courses units may be evaluated by the pass/fail evaluation as well. Every course unit is concluded with either a written or written-oral examination or pass/fail evaluation. Student's knowledge and general performance during the exam are evaluated using grading scale from 1(very poor) to 10(excellent), or by pass or fail evaluation in the cases when pass/fail evaluation is foreseen as a final evaluation of the course unit.
Study subjects (modules), practical training:
Compulsory courses: neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, biopsychology, psychophysiology, neurochemistry, michanism of sensation and perception, molecular mechanisms of sensory transduction, research project, master thesis. Elective courses: adaptive neurotechnology, plant sensory systems, histology, neuroethics, brain research methods, human neuropsychology, bio data analysis, behavioral genetics, membrane biology, neuron biophysics.
Optional courses:
20 credits are awarded to elective courses (part of them – other study field).
Distinctive features of a study programme:
Master program Neurobiology is the only program in Lithuania to teach neurobiologists – specialists who understand mechanisms of nervous system functioning at the molecular/cellular level and are able to plan and perform experiments aiming to explore nervous system, to analyze experimental data.
Access to professional activity:
Master in Neurobiology can work at high technology industry, research and development, education, medical institutions, private and public agencies where knowledge, technologies and equipment in a field of neurobiology and live sciences are acquired, applied, created or traded.
Access to further study:
Masters in Neurobiology have possibility to continue scientific carreer in doctoral (PhD) studies in life sciences in Lithuania and abroad.
