PHD Program

The main objective of the PhD program in Neuroscience in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), is to allow our students to acquire the best skills and knowledge necessary to develop quality basic research, oriented for the understanding of the normal and pathological nervous system.

Students from all over the world can be incorporated  in any of the excellent groups existing in the Institut de Neurociències and the associated research hospitals of the UAB. We have a special focus in the transmission of knowledge and methodology that are necessary for developing quality research, allowing the students to do their doctoral thesis in a multidisciplinary framework with the collaboration of other groups from Europe and the rest of the world.

Our Ph.D programme has been distinguished with the prestigious Mention of Excellence from the AQU, accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, which allows that the students can apply for mobility grants together with other advantages in other public calls.

The program is also backed by EIT:
