Complete NeuroGrad
To obtain a PhD degree in neuroscience from the Graduate School at the Faculty of Health and Medical Science, the graduate students must fulfill the criteria prescribed by the Faculty in addition to the activities encompassed in the graduate program in neuroscience.

- Annual NeuroGrad Winter School (mandatory)
- General and specialized courses on basal and clinical neuroscience
- Courses on transferable skills (poster presentations, communication in academia, etc.)
