The MSc in Clinical Neuropharmacology permits the students to investigate the structure and functions of the nervous system and the influence of the drugs on the nervous system. This will allow the students to apply the relevant knowledge to find novel targets and treatment to neurological and psychological disorders. The course is designed for students with a pharmacology background. Due to the rich content of the course, graduates of the program will be qualified to pursue their PhD, work in hospitals, universities, research centers, or the pharmaceutical industry.
This unique multidisciplinary program provides students with an excellent opportunity to develop a specific interest in the Clinical Neuropharmacology field required for understanding the mechanisms of pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and treatments of various diseases of the brain and nervous system in parallel with high involvement in psychophysics, data analysis and statistical modelling.
Strategically, the program utilizes many instructional methods, including, but not limited to, interactive lectures, seminars, computing sessions and laboratory sessions. Problem case sessions are conducted by academic and clinical experts from different subspecialties. In addition, candidates must complete clinical placements and research projects related to neuropharmacology.
