The objectives of the Neurosciences, neurobiology master program are to provide the students with a strong scientific background in the various aspects of Neurosciences, from the most integrated ones to the cellular aspects. The students will also become familiar with the various techniques used in this developing field in biology. At the end of this 2nd year's master program, the students should be able to undertake a PhD program in the fields of neurobiology or neurosciences. The first year of the Neurobiology - neurosciences (NN) master program (Molecular and cellular biology program) is meant to complete the general scientific background of the enrolled students in various fields of biology (cell biology, genetics and biochemistry) (semester 7), introduce the students to their specific master 2nd year's program by offering them specialized courses (semester 8), introduce the students to a research project, from its conception to its experimental undertaking and up to the report of the obtained results by an oral presentation as well as a written report (module of 18 ECTS during the first semester of the 1st year's master ; internship of 2 months in a research laboratory or in a R&D laboratory from a private company), allow the students to develop their written and oral skills for the search of internships and/or jobs as well as for the presentation of research projects and experimental results (mandatory modules of 3 ECTS - Communication tools - and 18 ECTS during the semester 7, 2 months internship during the second semester).
