Neurobiology-Neurosciences

The objectives of the "Neurobiology-Neurosciences" (NN) Master program are to provide the students with a strong scientific background in the various aspects of Neurosciences, from the most integrated ones to the cellular aspects. The students will also become familiar with the various techniques used in this developing field in Biology.

At the end of this 2 year Master program, the students should be able to undertake a PhD program in the fields of Neurobiology or Neurosciences.

The first year of the "Neurobiology-Neurosciences" (NN) Master program (“Molecular and Cellular Biology” program) is meant to complete the general scientific background of the enrolled students in various fields of Biology (Cell Biology, Genetics and Biochemistry) (first semester of the Master 1 program), introduce the students to their specific Master 2 program by offering them specialized courses (second semester of the Master 1 program), introduce the students to a research project, from its conception to its experimental undertaking and up to the report of the obtained results by an oral presentation as well as a written report (module of 18 ECTS during the first semester of the Master 1 program; internship of 2 months in a research laboratory or in a R&D laboratory from a private company), allow the students to develop their written and oral skills for the search of internships and/or jobs as well as for the presentation of research projects and experimental results (mandatory modules of 3 ECTS - “Communication tools” - and 18 ECTS during the first semester of the Master 1 program, 2 month internship during the second semester).

 Admission requirements :

- to the first year of the Master's degree in Biology (“Molecular and Cellular Biology” program): if you have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Sciences or are enrolled in the final semester of a Bachelor’s program in Sciences in France, you are eligible to apply for the first year of the Master’s degree in Biology;

- to the second year of the Master's degree in Biology: to be eligible to apply, you should have completed (or you should be enrolled in) a first year of a Master’s degree  in Sciences i.e. you should have validated 60 ETCS of a Master’s degree in Sciences by the end of your current academic year.
