Neuroengineering
Neuroengineering is an emerging interdisciplinary field that aims to translate findings in neuroscience to real-world practical engineering applications. The overall goal of the study program is to educate and to train students in the area between engineering, medicine, biology and psychology; Thereby providing knowledge and skills, and broadening their mind, to envision and to create innovative neuro-inspired systems.

MSNE aims to train excellent, open-minded students through an individualized, highly interdisciplinary and internationally competitive program, which allows them to becomeleaders in this novel interdisciplinary area in the intersection of neuroscience and engineering.
These educational experiences should enable them to perform groundbreaking research as well as envision and create innovative neuro-inspired systems. MSNE provides students with a unique knowledge and skill set, individualized by mentor-approved electives, complemented by hands-on internships, early-career training for independent research, and awareness of ethical aspects of neuro-technology.
Neuroengineering combines neuroscience, electrical engineering, materials science, and computer science. It is a great pleasure to train MSNE students, and to prepare them to be leaders in the future of neurotechnology.
