Master of Neurosciences – University Claude Bernard Lyon 1

The MASTER of NEUROSCIENCES aims to train the next generation of neuroscientists via an ambitious English-taught program based on the world-renowned scientific expertise available in Lyon, France. The highly interdisciplinary program covers topics ranging from basic research in human and animal models to applied and translational Neuroscience. The Master allows students to specialize in their field of interest (e.g. Cognitive Neurosciences, Cellular Neurobiology, Clinical Neurosciences, Computational Neurosciences) and includes extensive practical activities in laboratories.

This master is a 2 year-program. Admission is possible either in 1st year (for students with a Bachelor’s degree), or directly in 2nd year by selecting one of the 3 possible paths: M2 FCN, M2 SNA and M2 CNS (for students already holding a Master 1 degree). Please see admission pages for more details. Diploma is awarded at the end of the 2nd year.

Within the recently created Neurosciences Graduate School « from Neurons to Brain », the MASTER of NEUROSCIENCES provides a strong training program with unique opportunities for research interactions (individual mentoring and platform-based training) and international experience (exchange fellowships).
