Course Details

The Mind and Brain program incorporates the innovative research conducted by the members of the Berlin School of Mind and Brain into an interdisciplinary teaching and education Master program. The Master program Mind and Brain thus acquaints students with the most up-to-date approaches to and results of neuroscience research as well as their bearing upon the fields of psychology, philosophy, neurolinguistics, neuroscience and cognitive science. The Master program Mind and Brain offers students three different areas of specialization: (1) neuroscience, neurobiology or psychology, (2) philosophy or psycholinguistics or (3) academic management (German required). Depending on the chosen area of specialization, the degree awarded at the end of the course may be a Master of Arts, M.A. (Track Mind) or a Master of Science, M.Sc. (Track Brain). A major difference between the Mind and Brain Tracks lies in their different approaches to empirical research: Brain-Track students are trained to conduct empirical neuroscientific research projects independently whereas the work of Mind-Track students is governed by a theoretical or philosophical examination of neuroscientific research. Although Mind-Track students also receive methodological training that allows them to assess the quality of neuroscientific research results, the aim of the training is not to instruct students in how to conduct their own empirical research.
