MSc in Brain and Data Science at the University of Padova
The Joint MSc in Brain and Data Science is a unique new international Master's degree in collaboration between the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center and the University of Padova (Italy)
The program combines neuroscience and data science. The study topics include advanced courses in these fields at Bar-Ilan University and the University of Padova. At Bar-Ilan, the emphasis will be on brain research and data science, and at Padova, topics will focus on cognitive neuroscience.
Students enrolled in the Joint MSc in Brain and Data Science at either university may participate in the program. Students spend the first year at their home university completing mandatory courses. Then, students transfer to the partner university for the second year, working in research and attending elective courses.
The program is taught in English, graduates receive a degree certificate from both institutions.
