Brain and Mind

(Contact Information: Deniz Eroğlu)

Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Medicine and Kadir Has University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, in collaboration with expert researchers and industry participation, will offer a graduate education and research program named Brain & Mind within the scope of the Neuroscience Program. Students admitted to the program will be supported with a 100% scholarship throughout their studies, and additional living support funded by scientific projects will also be provided.

Brain and Mind; Program Objectives

The fundamental objective of this program is for students to specialize in computational neuroscience and acquire the necessary research skills to solve complex problems in this field. Specifically, it aims for an in-depth examination of the relationship between the brain and mind by learning the fundamental principles and computational methods of neuroscience. By bringing together knowledge and skills from various fields such as mathematics, statistics, programming, engineering, medicine, molecular biology, and genetics, the program aims to equip students with the ability to creatively solve real-world neuroscience problems. The program aims to foster students' ability to conduct independent research and develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills to address complex neuroscience issues. Additionally, it enables students to work in leading interdisciplinary research groups in their field and share research findings on international platforms. The program guides students in understanding and applying ethical principles in scientific research and technology use, teaching them the responsibility to produce solutions sensitive to societal needs. In line with these objectives, the program aims to ensure that its graduates become innovative and ethically conscious professionals capable of leading in the field of neuroscience on the international stage.
