The curriculum is structured over four semesters and includes a mix of theoretical modules, practical experience, and a thesis project.

This programme is designed to equip students with a solid foundation in both experimental and clinical neuroscience. Throughout their studies, participants explore a variety of disciplines, learning not only scientific methodologies but also critical thinking and analytical skills necessary for research.
