Master's Degree Programme in Brain and Data Science (Erasmus Mundus)

NeuroData, the new MSc in Brain and Data Science, accepts students with multidisciplinary backgrounds and trains students to respond to the growing need of both science and society to integrate the most suitable computational methods to solve increasingly complex questions in neuroscience. Each partner university within the consortium has a different role to play during the NeuroData programme.

Why this programme?

In modern science, breakthroughs often occur at the intersection of multiple disciplines. NeuroData, a pioneering, innovative MSc in Brain and Data Science, will create impact through multidisciplinary research and educational innovation.

This holistic approach to students’ training will enable them to forge new mindsets and approaches while increasing individual contributions to a knowledge-based economy and society. The possibilities for ground-breaking, cutting-edge discoveries are enormous.

 The integrated multidisciplinary brain and data science curriculum will cultivate researchers with in-depth knowledge in both fields.

Programme info

The programme covers the two years of your study, research, placement activities, thesis preparation and defence, in line with the requirement of the joint Master as defined by Erasmus Mundus. As part of these requirements, the joint Master comprises at least 2 study periods in 2 countries, which must differ from your country of residence. In the NeuroData programme, the first year is in Israel and the second year in Portugal, Netherlands, Italy or Finland. 

Students participating in the program must have obtained an undergraduate degree of at least 180 ECTS (equivalent to a three-year Batchelor degree) in brain sciences, life sciences, exact sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, computer sciences), psychology and cognitive sciences or equivalent.
