Neuroscience

Overview

Owing to this legacy, Pisa offers a very active and competitive scientific environment

for studies in Neuroscience. The aim of the Neuroscience MSc programme from University of Pisa is to provide interdisciplinary training that spans across a wide variety of experimental and computational approaches to contemporary Neuroscience, from the molecular and cellular level to the analysis of higher cognitive functions in the human brain. The course is designed to not only attract students possessing a Bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree in a strictly biological field, but also students coming from a wide range of different educational routes.

Professional Perspectives

Graduates in Neuroscience will be prepared for both academic and industrial research, particularly in pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries. They may have the opportunity to be involved in the production of both medical and diagnostic devices, as well as in the sector of neuroprosthesis. Other professional prospects include the dissemination of scientific knowledge, institutional communication (for instance within European political institutions), or a role in the developing field of Neuroeconomics (for instance in private or public consulting agencies).
