Prerequisites

– Validation of at least 12 credits in Neurosciences or Cognitive Sciences, and 12 credits in Physiology, Biology or related disciplines (Maths, Physics or Informatics applied to Biology)

Note : The training of BUT3 students generally does not meet the prerequisites for M1 Neurosciences (12 ECTS in Neuroscience or Cognitive Sciences).
