The SDC MSc programme in Neuroscience & Neuroimaging is: • A full Master’s programme (120 ECTS) • Taught in English • A double-degree programme. You will receive a Master’s degree from Aarhus University n as well as from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) on successful completion • Recognized by the Danish Agency for Higher Education and Educational Support and students are hence entitled to receive SU • 50% Danish and 50% Chinese students
You will obtain knowledge in: • Molecular, cellular, and clinical neuroscience • Various neuroimaging technologies including ultra sound, X-ray/CT, PET /SPECT, EEG, MEG and fMRI • Advanced uses of neuroimaging modalities • Hardware design for fMRI and PET scanners • Model systems used in neuroscience
WHAT IS SDC? Sino-Danish Center for Education and Research (SDC) is a partnership between all eight Danish universities and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) in Beijing. SDC in Beijing offers seven unique Master’s programmes jointly developed by Danish and Chinese research environments.
WHO’S BEHIND THE PROGRAMME? The MSc in Neuroscience and Neuroimaging has been developed by Aarhus University in collaboration with University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. the University of Copenhagen and the University of Southern Denmark contribute to the programme.
