Course schedule

Learning outcomes:

- Depth knowledge of at least one specialized Neurosciences field -
Learn to build a clear and structured presentation of a research -
Apply SWOT analysis to a scientific proposal

Course type

- Face-to-face teaching: 27 hours (lectures: 16 hours; tutorials: 11 hours). - Personal student work: 60 hours. - Lectures on different jobs in neuroscience. Each course is followed by a question/discussion session.  GRANT ANALYSIS: Students will work in pairs. They will study and understand a real research grant proposal. Then they will do a SWOT analysis (strength weakness opportunity and treat) of the proposal to understand how to evaluate a project. During classes, students will present the projects and critically discussed with the teacher and all other students.
