Parcours Neurosciences - NEURO

The Neuroscience program extends over 2 years, with the possibility of joining directly in the 2nd year (depending on previous training).

The neurosciences are fundamentally interdisciplinary, and our program is aimed at students from many different backgrounds -- life sciences, medical training, engineering, mathematicians, computer sciences -- planning to pursue a career in neuroscience in the public or private sector.

 First year open to : students with a Bachelor's degree in Life Science or Health Science.

Second year open to :

• students who have completed the M1 in neuroscience or related fields.
• M2 students from other fields.
• medical students in “Medecine/Sciences” or “Ecole de l’INSERM” programs.
• medical students performing their “internat”.
• students with a master degree in engineering, mathematics, computer sciences, etc.

Admissions are open from March 28 to June 13 on e-candidat.

Medical interns are invited to familiarize themselves with the following informations prior to their application : here

The admissions committee requires a document attesting to your enrollment in your university's combined Medical and Scientific training program, and also an official confirmation that the program confers the M1 level.

Please also attach a transcript of marks with the titles of the UEs you have followed through the Medecine/Science program.

The Neuroscience Master aims to integrate international students into our training program, and teaching in English is part of this initiative.

During the M1 year, because some course modules are shared with other non-Neuroscience teaching tracks, teaching is almost exclusively in French.

During the M2 year, many course modules are taught in English (those with the module title in English), and all lectures can be given in English if non-French students are present.  However, all lecturers can answer questions in French, and oral presentations as well as written exams can be completed in either French or English.

• Internship abroad

It si strongly recommended to search for an internship abroad as early as possible. The studies responsibles and/or the international mobility responsibles Pr. Gaël Orieux &   Pr. Eric Schwartz have got a list of nothern american and european laboratories/entreprises which have welcomed some of our first/second year students. They could be very hepful eventually. soon.
