The inter-university doctoral programme in Neuroscience brings together neuroscientists from five universities (the University of Castilla-La Mancha, the University of A Coruña, the Universidad Pablo de Olavide, the University of the Basque Country/EHU and the URV) to attain a sufficient critical mass to meet its objectives.

Our mission is to strengthen Neuroscience by attracting and incorporating students, giving them the education, experience of research excellence and tutoring that they need to become leaders in research and education. Neuroscience research is interdisciplinary and the programme covers almost all areas of expertise in this field, offering tremendous opportunities thanks to the variety and quality of the research groups involved and their international contacts.

The Neurosciences doctoral programme is coordinated by the University of the Basque Country and is jointly organised by the following universities:

The appropriate profile for people interested in registering to the Doctoral programme in Neuroscience is holders of official university degrees who have a Bachelor's degree in the field of Biomedicine, Sciences or Engineering (Biology, Biotechnology, Pharmacy, Medicine, Biomedical Sciences, Chemistry, Veterinary, Physics, Mathematics, Telecommunication Engineering, System Engineering or Chemical Engineering) and a research official Master's degree potentially related to the aforementioned Bachelor's degrees. Applicants are required to have a strong vocation to complete the doctoral training in this field of great relevance of scientific-professional interest today, in which currently highly specialised work positions are generated. The personal face-to-face or by videoconference interview will be a fundamental tool to establish the motivation level and the qualities of the candidates for developing a scientific career in the research field of the nervous system. The candidate is required to have a proven good command of English for both the reading of bibliography and the understanding of the programmed activities. 

Holders of a doctoral degree in Neurosciences have four immediate career opportunities:
