Presentazione

The two-year International Masters Degree in Neuroscience aims at providing a multidisciplinary training in Neurobiology, with topics ranging from Molecular to Behavioural Neurosciences.
Having in common a multi-level approach to Brain Research, Neuroscientists at the BRAIN Centre for Neuroscience and International School for Advanced Studies (ISAS-SISSA), Trieste offer graduate neuroscience studies at the University of Trieste. Students with a
3 year university 1st level degree (BSc) or equivalent in biology, biotechnology, medicine, pharmacy (or equivalent) are  encouraged to submit their candidacy.
Foreign graduate students are also encouraged to apply to the International Masters Degree in Neuroscience. Enrolment will follow standard regulations- see:
http://www.units.it/stranieri/en/
Normal courses will be held during two semesters (4 in total).
The whole programme, including lecture courses, workshops, seminars, and research training will consists of 120 credits.
The first year is devoted mainly to taught courses, while the second will be spent mostly for preparation of a thesis based on an experimental research project.
Theoretical and practical courses: Neurophysiology, Cellular Neurobiology, Signal transduction, Sensory systems, Neuroethology, Neuropharmacology, Neuropathology, Functional techniques for the study of the nervous system, Molecular biology techniques in Neuroscience, Cognitive processes, Brain imaging.
In addition, one intensive short workshop will be held at the end of each semester on “Cellular and molecular basis of neuropathologies” and “Industrial applications of neurosciences” with participation of European SMEs and Multinational pharmaceutical industries.
Travel fellowship will be available to foreign students
10 Scholarships of 3000 € (before taxes) will be available to students who will prepare their thesis at the BRAIN Centre for Neuroscience.
