Deniz Ashan Madencioglu, M.Sc.
After my bachelor’s, I wanted to continue my studies in the neuroscience field. The Integrative Neuroscience Masters program in Magdeburg offered a wide range of courses introducing every aspect of neuroscience which gave me the opportunity to decide in which direction I would like to pursue my scientific career.
How did you prepare for your stay in Magdeburg?
Pursuing my master’s degree in Germany increased my chances for staying in Magdeburg for my Ph.D. Settling down in Magdeburg was also quite easy as the intercultural student organisation (IKUS) of the university helps with most of the important aspects of moving to a new city.
What do you especially like about Magdeburg? Why is Magdeburg a good place to study?
I like that Magdeburg is fairly small and it is easy to go around in the city, especially with the bike. It is also a student-friendly city where rents are cheap and life costs are low.
