M.SC. Track in Brain Science
The M.Sc. track in Brain Science includes two main components: completing a set of courses and writing a dissertation. The duration of the program is 2 years, where students devote the first year primarily to the courses. Students are expected to submit their research proposals before the end of the first semester of the second year, and should submit their thesis by the end of the second year.
Formal requirements:
The training program includes three core courses, preparatory courses, and additional required and complementary courses and seminars.
Preparatory courses:
Every student is expected to complete a set of preparatory courses that is determined according to their own academic background, to bring all students to a common ground in mathematics and biology. These preparatory courses must be completed in the first semester of the first year..
