Overview
Through its innovative approaches to mentoring, Modeling of Neuronal and Cognitive Systems programme offered by the Université Côte d'Azur aims to foster natural curiosity and autonomy in students.
The goal is to develop active researchers at the interface of applied mathematics and cognitive sciences.
Objectives
Graduates will have acquired the basic knowledge in mathematics, statistics, computer science, biology and cognitive science needed to model neurocognitive systems.Moreover, students will have been able to specialise in a domain of interest thanks to the projects conducted in UCA laboratories. All these laboratories are members of the C@UCA core program "Cognitive systems, normality and pathology of the human brain, computationnal neuroscience".
The areas of specialisation include medecine, mathematics, linguistics, physics, experimental economics, psychology, computer science, neurophysiology and chemistry of olfaction. Throughout the program, students will be confronted several times with interactions in all these fields, especially in group work.
This will give each student the unique opportunity to progressively make individual choices, acquire autonomous thinking and work in an interdisciplinary setting. International mobility and Research & Development work in private companies will also be encouraged through internships.
Careers
Both of the Mod4NeuCog tracks provide a thorough introduction to a variety of computational and experimental methods, and also give an overview of state-of-the-art research in neuroscience, cognitive science and machine learning. Our graduates are prepared to enter a high-quality PhD program or to work in private R&D industrial positions in a wide range of areas including neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science and applied mathematics.

General requirements
- Candidates should have a bachelor's or an equivalent degree in mathematics, computer science, biology, psychology, electrical engineering, economics or linguistics.
- In addition, they will have to provide evidence of their ability to follow mathematical courses at a rapid pace (preparatory classes, double degree, syllabi of previous mathematics courses and evidence of good grades in these courses, recommendation letters, etc).
- Students must also provide a motivation letter explaining their interest in neuroscience and cognition and briefly describing a project they would like to develop. The admission will be selective, based on the students' application materials.
