The Bochum Research School for Medical Neuroscience (BoNeuroMed) takes full advantage of the full scope of neuroscience expertise and methodologies available within the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) and its University Clinics to explore new frontiers in therapeutics and innovation in the area of the medical neurosciences.

Talented young neuroscientists acquire state-of-the-art training in research methodology and neuroscience theory whilst participating in a research project and customised curriculum that will lead to a PhD in Neuroscience. Research training is accompanied by hands-on experience within clinics and industry, to enable a technological bridge between basic and applied neurosciences.

A fast-track international PhD in Neuroscience (completed within 3 years) together with additional training in management and complementary skills is aimed to produce a new generation of young neuroscientists that can compete at the highest level, both professionally and internationally.
