During my bachelor's, I developed an interest in the brain. I did some specialization courses and a minor on neurosciences, so when I came across the Research Master in Neurosciences it was an obvious choice!

Why did you choose the research master in Neurosciences at VU Amsterdam?

During my bachelors, I developed an interest in the brain. I did some specialization courses and a minor on neurosciences, so when I came across the Research Master in Neurosciences it was an obvious choice!

What was your background (Bachelor's)?

I attended the bachelors of Biology at VU.

What did you like the most about this research master? / What aspects of this master did you find most useful/interesting?
