Students will be endowed with a wide perspective of neuroscience, which is expected to accompany them during their pathway through doctorate and post-doctorate, when they are asked to deepen their knowledge in a particular area of their choice. Furthermore, neuroclinical professionals will get specialized scientific education, while other students may engage in various neuroscience-related professions such as research technician, project manager or organizerof scientific events.
