What is the objective of the course? What is it?
What does it train you for?

The Master's Degree in Neuroscience mainly prepare an expert in Neuroscience and Neurobiology, whose education will be completed with advanced post-graduate training courses.

Graduates of the CdS in Neuroscience who will complete their training with post-graduate courses, such as PhDs, Specializations and other Masters, can have access to all managerial professions (according to the criteria required by the calls of the individual structures) in research and development divisions in public and private hospitals, IRCCS, pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, companies and innovative start-ups aimed at the creation of new neurological drugs, new bioengineering technologies for the management, diagnosis and innovative treatment of diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system.

The Degree Program is not divided into curricula.

What do you learn?

The Master's Degree is structured in such a way as to provide an adequate and balanced preparation in the characterizing disciplines and in particular in the field of Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, in which the structural, morphological and functional aspects of the central and peripheral nervous system will be studied in details.

These teachings are preparatory to a correct classification of pathological, diagnostic-instrumental processes and related drug therapies both at cellular and molecular level.

These last didactic aspects are guaranteed by the teachings of Neuropathology and Neuropharmacology and Clinical and Advanced Diagnostics, Neurology, Psychiatry, Neurological Rehabilitation.

Ample space is also reserved for the study of Information Processing in Neuroscience, Human-machine interfaces (HMI), including the Brain Computer Interface (BCI), key topics in the sector covered in the Information Processing Systems in Neuroscience course.

Rehabilitation Engineering, of strategic importance for a modern computational approach to Neuroscience, will also be addressed.

A B2 / C1 level academic English or B1 / B2 Italian course (for foreign students) will be provided, to ensure an optimal preparation for post-graduate training and direct access to high qualified work.

What can you do with it?

The natural job placement of graduates of the Master's Degree in Neuroscience is therefore that of academic research and industrial research, advanced diagnosis, analysis of clinical and biological data in the field of Neuroscience.

Additional areas of work are those of the neuropharmaceutical and neuro-biotechnology industry, currently in strong expansion, as well as the industries producing diagnostic medical devices, neurorehabilitation and neuroprostheses.

After passing the state exam and enrolling in the professional register of biologists, the graduate will be able to carry out the regulated profession of biologist.
