Educational background

The recruitment of students for the four double degrees in NeuroData is unified via an Internet portal. Joint admission criteria have been defined in the framework of the already existing degrees; they are extended to cover the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in NeuroData.

All candidates must have obtained a first higher education degree or demonstrate a recognised equivalent level of learning according to national legislation and practices, with outstanding grades (roughly top 10% of your class) or other study results.

Students participating in the program must have obtained an undergraduate degree of at least 180 ECTS in brain sciences, life sciences, exact sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, computer sciences), engineering (primarily computer engineering, electrical engineering and bioengineering), psychology and cognitive sciences or equivalent by the time of application. The diplomas and transcript of completed courses and grades are required. In addition, basic knowledge in the following fields is required: general biology, math and programming in python.

A Candidate currently enrolled in the last year of Bachelor's at the time of application is allowed to apply, provided – in case they are admitted – they submit proof of graduation before the NeuroData programme starts, i.e. before August.
