The Graduate Programme for Neuroscience

Medical surgery

The Graduate Programme for Neurosciences covers research education within all areas of Child and adolescent psychiatry, Neuro biology, Neuro surgery, Neurology, Psychiatry, Psychotraumatology and Health psychology.

The most important tasks for the graduate programme are:

  • to ensure the presence of a regionally relevant course programme within the research field of neuro science. The regional programme is coordinated nationally so that the range of courses nationally is as wide as possible. 
  • to convey a contact between the PhD students associated with the graduate programme and a highly qualified corps of supervisors
  • to promote the formation of networks among the PhD students associated with the graduate programme and to generate contact to international research networks.
  • to attract means to co-financed PhD programmes 
  • to offer the best possible conditions for PhD students in cooperation with the Graduate School at the Faculty of Health Sciences.

The Graduate Programme in Neuroscience offers a great variety of courses and activities.

The courses are open to all PhD students, regardless of which university they are enrolled at. Students enrolled at other universities than the University of Southern Denmark pay course fees in accordance with the standard agreement between the relevant universities.

The courses also function as a meeting place for supervisors and researchers in Public Health and are therefore open to everyone in this field, and not only PhD students. Other interested persons can participate after agreement with the programme director (se the section "Contact" below). We are continually establishing new courses, so if you have an idea for a new course, please contact the programme director.

See the courses we offer as well as all other PhD courses here.

On 23. march 2017 in an Auditorium filled beyond its limits, Jonathan Stone delivered an amazing lecture on "Functional psychogenic disorders in neurology, turning the negative to the positive".  

Jonathan Stone gave, through a couple of examples, a long line of very good instructions to diagnosing and treating patients  in both the neurological and psychiatric clinic. Jonathan Stone introduced some new and exciting treatments based on research related evidence. A couple of good English guidelines are available for this.

At the meeting, Psychiatrics, Neurologists and Psychologists from all over Denmark participated.

The meeting were organised by the Graduate Programme for Neuroscience at SDU along with the two focused research units in Neurology and Psychiatry in Åbenrå.
