Neuroscience and Neuroimaging

Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, founded in 1876, is a leading research university with a global reputation for excellence across medicine, public health, engineering, the arts and sciences. The university enrolls around 32,049 students, including approximately 5,233 international scholars, and offers an extensive portfolio of programs—about 238—across undergraduate, graduate and professional levels.

Johns Hopkins emphasizes research-led education, interdisciplinary collaboration and hands-on learning through labs, clinics and community partnerships. International students can access comprehensive support services for admissions, visas, academic advising and career development, and can participate in research opportunities, internships and global exchange programs that enhance professional prospects and real-world experience.

Baltimore’s urban setting provides access to vibrant cultural life, medical centers and industry partners, making it well suited for students interested in translational research and public service. The university’s strong alumni network, career services and industry links help graduates move into competitive roles worldwide, while campus resources support wellbeing, student activities and a diverse international community.

Neuroscience and Neuroimaging is a non-degree program at Johns Hopkins University, taught in English, and lasting several weeks. It combines four neuroscience courses for a cohesive learning experience, covering neuroanatomy, neuroimaging methods, and experimental design. This program helps students understand the brain and its functions.

The curriculum includes fundamental neuroscience concepts, neuroimaging principles, and functional magnetic resonance imaging. Students learn about experimental design, functional connectivity MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, and spectroscopy imaging. The program also covers data manipulation and analysis using the R programming language, helping students develop skills in neurohacking and data processing.

Graduates can pursue careers as Neuroimaging Specialists, Research Assistants, Data Analysts, Neuroscience Researchers, or Medical Imaging Technicians. They can work in hospitals, research institutions, or universities, applying their knowledge of neuroimaging methods and data analysis to help advance our understanding of the brain and its functions.
