Admission

1. Background required

The ideal background for this Program is Master’s degree in Neuroscience and/or Degree in Medicine. Applications from students with a Masters / Ms.C in Cellular / Molecular / Medical Biology, Biochemistry, Genetics, Biotechnology, Veterinary, Computing or Neuropsychology are also welcome.

2. Thesis Direction

Students in the Program complete their dissertations under the supervision or co-supervision of one of the Program Researchers.

It is an essential requirement for admission to the Doctoral Program in Neuroscience to have a document of commitment endorsement for supervision and mentorship from a Researcher belonging to the Program. In the case of two supervisors, at least one of them must be a Researcher in the Program.

Exceptionally and with justification, the Academic Committee may authorize a Researcher in the Program to decline the role of co-supervisor and act only as a supervisor for a dissertation supervised by a PhD researcher from another institution.

The supervisor's endorsement document must contain the valid signatures of all participating parties. The template for this document can be found on the UAM Doctoral School website (EDUAM) (under the "Prospective Doctoral Students" tab – in Admissions – Documentation) along with the other instructions and documents required for admission.

The assignment of the Thesis Supervisor takes place once the Academic Committee has evaluated the applications and admitted the candidates.
