Program Overview

Master in Neurosciences

The Master in Neurosciences program is designed to provide students with a broad knowledge in the field of neuroscience, ranging from molecular and cellular to integrative neuroscience.

Course Overview

The program is 2 years long, full-time, and is taught in both French (50%) and English (50%) in the first year, and entirely in English in the second year. The program is located at Université Paris Cité, France, and awards a Master in Neuroscience degree.

Entry Requirements

To be eligible for the program, students must have obtained or be in the process of validating a Licence 3 or a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical sciences, life sciences, or an equivalent degree with a major in biology and a minor in neuroscience. Alternatively, students may have obtained or be in the process of validating a double major in Life Sciences and Psychology or Life Sciences and Mathematics. Students may enter directly into the 2nd year of the program under certain conditions.

Language Pre-requisites

Students must have a certified B2 level in French (TCF 400; DELF B2) and a B2 level in English (IELTS 6; TOEFL 87; Cambridge English First; Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) level B2; Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE), TOEIC 785).
