What do you like about the programme/specialisation and why? How has the programme/specialisation challenged you?
It is such an unique programme! I particularly enjoy the freedom we have with choosing the path that best matches our likings. This also means there are many opportunities to get out of my comfort zone and learn things I wouldn't otherwise
What do you think about the atmosphere in class?
Most interactions I have had with students, researchers, teachers,... are horizontal! Teachers are always ready to help and having students as teaching assistants is pivotal.
What do you find most challenging in your Master’s (specialisation)? Have you encountered any obstacles?
Keeping up to date on all the new information. There's a big brain research institute at Radboud that on its own covers such a wide range of topics, it always feels there's something new I haven't heard of.
Are you currently doing an internship? Or what is your thesis about?
Yes! I am working with a Computational Neuroscience topic, studying the role of oscillations in the behaviour of neurons.
Why do you think it is important that there are people with this degree? What are your plans once you have received your Master's degree?
Neurophysics is still quite a niche area. There are a lot of physics methods that can be applied in Neuroscience and AI and we need that multidisciplinary.
