Doctoral programme in Neuroscience

The doctoral programme in neuroscience provides learning activities in neuroscience, including cellular/molecular neuroscience, circuits and systems, cognition and behavior, and mechanisms of neurological and psychiatric disorders. We welcome all interested doctoral students to courses and other activities organized by the programme.

Programme overview

A significant part of the Research at Karolinska Institutet deals with the normal function or pathology of the nervous system. Doctoral students are trained within the different neuroscience disciplines in research groups at eight departments. The inter-departmental "Doctoral Programme in Neuroscience" organizes courses and supports other activities.

Annual Courses

In the beginning of each fall a package of four courses, the "Frontiers Courses in Neuroscience", is given. You may apply to all courses or select individual courses.

We especially recommend doctoral students in the beginning of their training period to apply to all courses. This will quickly give you a broad knowledge base and make you acquainted with many neuroscientists at KI.

Frontiers courses in Neurosciences

• The Developing Brain
• Brain Circuits
• Functional Cognitive Neuroanatomy
• Neurodegenerative Disorders i: Genes, Mechanisms and Clinical Aspects

Other Courses

A number of other specialized and general courses are also given each semester and will be announced in the course catalogue for doctoral courses .

Basic Human Neuroscience

We can now offer a seven (7)-week course in Basic Human Neuroscience for doctoral students without a basic training in biomedicine/medicine. This course follows the curriculum of the biomedicine programme at Karolinska Institutet. It will be given every fall semester and will be announced in the course catalogue .

If you have studied basic neuroscience but feel that you need to refresh your knowledge, we recommend the free online course in Medical Neuroscience organised by Duke University.

Postgraduate training is very different from undergraduate courses. It is based on individual needs and abilities, and is designed to help you to think clearly, originally and practically, and to prepare you for leadership in science. We teach our postgraduate students how to plan and carry out cutting-edge research. Cambridge is an amazing place to learn how to do research. Visiting speakers and collaborators come from all over the world, and there are simply too many seminars for one person to attend! We have a careful system of monitoring the individual progress of each student; everyone has both a principal supervisor and associated adviser, and there are weekly student-led seminars.

Research training within the Department has several essential components, the first and foremost being the research project itself, to which you will make a significant contribution. This will give you experience and training in a variety of experimental and/or clinical research techniques, but will also teach you how to organise research, plan experiments, and read and digest the scientific literature relevant to your research work. Most research groups have weekly or fortnightly meetings in which all members discuss each other's work.

However, other skills are also important. You will be required to attend seminars and round-tables, and you will have the opportunity to go to scientific meetings both in the UK and abroad. These bring you into direct contact with prominent and active scientists in your field from around the world.

You will also give scientific talks yourself. Audiences for such talks are often quite large, and the discussion of your paper is often very lively. You will also be expected to attend courses, that either directly relate to your research (for example, they might teach you a specific skill or expand your theoretical knowledge) or teach you general skills that are important for a well-qualified scientist to know (for example, how to write a scientific paper, use databases, or interact with the media). There are a large number of these courses, many of them run by the Postgraduate School of Life Sciences. The Department also has its own series of seminars.

We expect our postgraduate students to publish in high-quality journals, and nearly all of them do so.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the programme, students will have:

• a comprehensive understanding of techniques, and a thorough knowledge of the literature, applicable to their own research;
• demonstrated originality in the application of knowledge, together with a practical understanding of how research and enquiry are used to create and interpret knowledge in their field;
• shown abilities in the critical evaluation of current research and research techniques and methodologies;
• demonstrated some self-direction and originality in tackling and solving problems, and acted autonomously in the planning and implementation of research.

Those who wish to progress to a PhD after completing an MPhil will be required to demonstrate to their potential supervisor, Head of Department and the Faculty Degree Committee that they have the skills and ability to achieve the higher degree.

Further information on continuing students can be seen here

The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities.

About this degree

The UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, together with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, form the renowned national and international research and clinical centre known simply as 'Queen Square'. The institute is also a key member of the UCL neuroscience community which is currently ranked second in the world, and first in Europe for neuroscience research (Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators). This means that you will be studying at a world-leading institution, with access to some of the best minds working in the field today, with established opportunities for progression from undergraduate to PhD study, and on to careers in neuroscience and neurology research and clinical practice.

Who this course is for

We offer full time and part time MPhil/PhD study (usually three years/five years).

For the majority of PhD programmes, you will need to have a research topic, supervisor and funding confirmed before submitting an application.

What this course will give you

The Queen Square Institute of Neurology offers a traditional three-year full-time PhD or a flexible five-year part-time option. The students are supported via Thesis Committees throughout the PhD and report their progress on the Research Log. This method provides the student with wider intellectual contribution, access to copious expertise and an overview of the student's development at specific points during the degree.

The foundation of your career

Students at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology are ideally placed to exploit the opportunities for career progression which arise from studying in a well-funded national and international centre of excellence. Doctoral students go on to become early career researchers. Clinicians combine research fellowships with PhD studies and enter core or specialty training in the London, or other Deaneries on completion. It is the possibility of transition from postgraduate student to early career researcher or specialist neurologist which makes studying at Queen Square so attractive.

Employability

Students at the institute go on to further study at doctoral level, begin medical studies, start careers in basic science, combine study with paid research or clinical fellowships, and continue their medical careers through core and speciality training. In many research and clinical careers, a research degree is a considerable asset, if not a necessity.

Students are given the opportunity to present their research, alongside their peers studying for PhDs, at the well-regarded annual Queen Square Symposium. Doctoral students are all encouraged to attend national and international conferences during their studies, with their travel funded by grants, awards or bursaries. Students at all levels are supervised by, and work alongside internationally renowned scientists and clinical academics, who are often leaders in their field. Queen Square hosts a series of induction workshops and day trips for new research students as well as events for continuing students so there will always be an opportunity to share knowledge interact with others at the institute.

Teaching and learning

Each research student is guided through their research by their supervisors or relevant team member. In addition to this, students will have the opportunity to attend journal clubs, seminars, lectures, courses and more which will contribute to their learning.

The learning outcome of the programme is to contribute distinctly and significantly to the research area.

Each research student is required to submit progress documents for thesis committee meetings. For students who require upgrade from MPhil to PhD, they must submit a 10,000 word thesis and perform a departmental presentation as well as a private viva with the examiners. At the end of the degree, students will need to submit their final thesis and conduct a private viva which will be examined by two independent academics.

Contact hours and hours of self-study are agreed between the student and the supervisor at the beginning of their research degree and should be reviewed on a regular basis.

Research areas and structure

Research is focused within the following eight departments:

• Brain Repair and Rehabilitation  
• Clinical and Experimental Epilepsy  
• Imaging Neuroscience  
• Clinical and Movement Neurosciences  
• Neurodegenerative Disease  
• Neuroinflammation  
• Neuromuscular Diseases  
• UK Dementia Research Institute at UCL  

Research environment

Programme structure

The length of registration for full-time research degree programmes is three years.

The student will register initially for the MPhil degree with the expectation of transfer to PhD after successful completion of an upgrade examination within 9-18 months from initial registration.

All MPhil/PhD students must have thesis committees (TC) which are comprised of the subsidiary supervisor, at least two independent academic colleagues and the student. The thesis committee panel must be formed and approved within the first month of joining the programme. Within three months, the first TC meeting should occur where the TC will discuss and agree on the student’s personal development plan, the basic structure of the research project, an appropriate research method and a realistic plan of work. The student will also perform a presentation. At nine months, the student will have their second TC meeting which will require a presentation, submission of a progress report and an updated personal development plan.

In the second year, the upgrade examination will take place. To successfully upgrade to a PhD you are required to submit a 10,000 word dissertation read & approved by both supervisors, perform a departmental presentation and conduct a private upgrade viva examined by the two independent TC members. If successful, the upgrade will be recommended by the examiners and will require final approval from the Department Graduate Tutor (DGT).

This will be followed by three further TC meetings comprised of presentations on PhD progress and reviews of the personal development plan. The final TC meeting will require submission of a thesis outline for review by the TC panel members.

The PhD programme is recommended to be completed within three years for full-time students. If not possible, the student may register for one year of completing research status (CRS) while thesis writing, if agreed by the PhD sponsor(s) and supervisory team. 

All students are expected to complete regular training in personal and research development alongside their research degree. The aim is to collect at least 20 points per year from attending Graduate School courses and other relevant externally run courses.

The length of registration for part-time research degree programmes is five years.

The student will register initially for the MPhil degree with the expectation of transfer to PhD after successful completion of an upgrade examination within 15-30 months from initial registration.

All MPhil/PhD students must have thesis committees (TC) which are comprised of the subsidiary supervisor, at least two independent academic colleagues and the student. The thesis committee panel must be formed and approved within the first month of joining the programme. Within six months, the first TC meeting should occur where the TC will discuss and agree on the student’s personal development plan, the basic structure of the research project, an appropriate research method and a realistic plan of work. The student will also perform a presentation. At 15 months, the student will have their second TC meeting which will require a presentation, submission of a progress report and an updated personal development plan.

Towards the end of the second year, the upgrade examination will take place. To successfully upgrade to a PhD you are required to submit a 10,000 word dissertation read & approved by both supervisors, perform a departmental presentation and conduct a private upgrade viva examined by the two independent TC members. If successful, the upgrade will be recommended by the examiners and will require final approval from the Department Graduate Tutor (DGT).

The PhD programme is recommended to be completed within five years for part-time students. If not possible, the student may register for two years of completing research status (CRS) while thesis writing, if agreed by the PhD sponsor(s) and supervisory team. 

All students are expected to complete regular training in personal and research development alongside their research degree. The aim is to collect at least 20 points per year from attending Graduate School courses and other relevant externally run courses. This can be on a pro-rata basis for part-time students.

Nina Soto, MSc Medical Neuroscienes Alumna

"As a trained biologist, I have been interested in using the tools and knowledge available to me to understand how circuits important for emotion and cognition evolve, and how their impairments result in different psychiatric disorders. The medical neurosciences graduate program at Charité provides great grounds for translational research. During our lectures, we have been educated on the different facets of neuroscience, from the basics of neurobiology to cognitive neuroscience and neuropharmacology. I particularly liked the engaging discussions between our small group and the professors during lectures. The interdisciplinary, international background of our cohort exposed me to different perspectives during discussions. Given Berlin is a major neuroscience hub, we had the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in various labs and work with world-class scientists during lab rotations. I had a great time immersing myself in the world of high-dimensional neural data before delving into the inner machinery of neurons using electrophysiology. Lastly, as a woman in STEM, it was inspiring to meet many female scientists and PIs and learn that Charité puts a high emphasis on diversity in research."

Zara Khan, MSc Medical Neurosciences Alumna

"With a BSc in Biochemistry I dived into the program that provides a holistic view by combining Neurobiology and Clinical Neuroscience. I have been fortunate to interact with brilliant professors and highly motivated and diverse classmates. Early on we presented and discussed recent publications, using the knowledge and critical thinking skills of previous modules. A plethora of research Groups offers interesting lab rotations. I love the vibrant and interdisciplinary vibe of the Neuroscience community and am actively involved in the Charite Neuroscience Newsletter (run completely by students of the program) and several science communication initiatives.
