Cursusdoelen
The student will learn to generate scientific articles in an abridged form and in their own words. In doing so, she/he:
  • presents a neuroscience subject in a structured and logical fashion in the form of a thesis, based on a selection of relevant
  • peer-reviewed research papers from scientific journals
  • learns to work with various literature search systems
Inhoud
A specialized subject pertaining to the field of Neuroscience that is readable and comprehensible for your peers. If so desired, for example if you graduate in the Communication, Education, or Science-Innovation tracks, the targeted audience of your thesis may adjusted accordingly.
It is also possible to select your own topic. Please, ensure beforehand that your supervisor agrees with the topic.

Procedure
The student first discusses her/his topic of interest with a selected supervisor. The subject is to be worked out in more detail on the basis of a number of relevant research articles, using various literature systems. It is important that you formulate, outline, and then discuss a problem in depth in your thesis.
Note that the thesis is not meant to serve as a summary of results: Instead, particular attention should be made to describe and present the topic according to a logical structure, give clear argumentation about obtained results, methods and remaining problems, and provide a scientific and academic analysis and synthesis of the topic. These aspects will all be used in the grading of the thesis work.
