The program for doctoral and postdoctoral students comprises 2 semesters (I to II), each consisting of 3 (summer term) resp. 4 consecutive modules (winter term) [(1) to (4)].
At the end of each semester, on completing all 3 resp.4 mandatory modules, a certificate is being issued. Requirement: attendance of at least 80%.
The following modules are offered during summer term 2018:
(1) Lecture “Sensory Systems – Basics and Principles II”
(2) Progress Reports – Progress in Neuroscience Research of the Retina and the Inner Ear
(3) Optional Courses
For ZfN Graduate Students:
Lecture: 2 x 3 ECTS/semester ⇒ 6 ECTS
Special Lectures Visual System: ⇒ 2 ECTS
In Total ⇒ max. 8 ECTS
For Postdoc, PhD, and Students of the Graduate Training Center, Experimental Medicine, Molecular Medicine and Medicine:
