Admission
The program is open to both national and international students. Therefore, all tuition will be done in English. Eligible are students with a bachelor's degree or equivalent in one of the Life Sciences disciplines including medicine, pharmaceutical sciences, psychology and biology. For medical students who are trained at an academic medical center at which no bachelor's degree can be obtained at present (e.g. Erasmus MC) we will consider successful completion of the third year of their medical curriculum as its equivalent. All national and international students who want to enter the Master of Neuroscience program must follow the Neuroscience Summer School at the Erasmus MC. Final decision for admission to the first year of the Master of Neuroscience course will be made based on the outcome of the exam of the Summer School in combination with a judgment of the student's motivation revealed by an interview.
Neuroscience Summerschool
Students will be selected based upon their motivation and ability to do research in the field of neuroscience. Students who fulfill these criteria can subscribe for the Summer School, which starts in August 2010. The Summer School lasts three weeks at the end of which there is an entry exam. Based upon the outcome of this exam students are admitted to the Neuroscience Master Program. Expectedly, about ten students will enter the program. The maximum number of participants to enter is fifteen. The deadline for international applications for the academic year 2010-2011 is February 1, 2010. Non-EU applicants are advised to register well before the deadline. For Dutch students the deadline for application is May 1, 2010. Summer School fee is €500,-.
