About us

The MSc in Interdisciplinary Brain Sciences is a joint program offered by the Faculty of Science (MNF), University of Zurich and by the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST), ETH Zurich. The leading house for this Program is the University of Zurich, which implies that administratively, all IDB students are considered students of the University of Zurich.

The program will implement novel teaching components for flipped learning, self-learning and interactive group discussions using a mix of on-site and online teaching. The program emphasises on interfacing the classroom theoretical knowledge with hands-on laboratory training. With emphasis on three focal areas, the program will encompass a well rounded neuroscience education:

• Brain Biology
• Systems, Computation and Neural Technology
• Translational, Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience
