The Graduate Training Centre of Neuroscience - GTC

Our programs

The Graduate Training Centre of Neuroscience (GTC) operates international neuroscience degree programs that offer comprehensive theoretical and practical training in a wide range of neuroscience topics under the guidance of leading neuroscientists. This has made Tübingen a prime location for graduate students, doctoral students, and postdocs interested in any one of the many aspects of neuroscience.

The three master’s programs offered by the GTC have their specific scientific foci while simultaneously optimally complementing one another, enabling students to also visit courses from the other programs. Together, they provide a markedly broad spectrum of neuroscience research and training opportunities in Tübingen, extending from genes to cognition and up to the level of computational approaches and state-of-the-art applied neuroscientific methods.

In addition to three master’s programs, the GTC runs a doctoral program with advanced neuroscience and supplementary skills training. We are proud of our vibrant community of students and young scientists, consisting of 100 master’s and 250 doctoral students.

Our research community

Neuroscience in Tübingen is interdisciplinary with highly networked scientists at various universities and non-university institutions and research centers, who together create the TübingenNeuroCampus. Students of the GTC can take full advantage of the lively research community and the state-of-the-art facilities for theoretical and practical training. Numerous Research centers and departments contribute to Teaching and Supervision at the Graduate Training Centre.
