The bachelor's program general goal is to provide a basic, modern and multidisciplinary education in Neuroscience.
This is suitable for individuals who wish to pursue graduate studies in various research areas through the various second-cycle training programs available in the country and abroad, such as:
- Cellular and molecular neurosciences
- Cognitive and behavioral neurosciences
- Computational neurosciences
- Clinical and translational neurosciences
Graduates who wish to enter the job market outside the realm of scientific research can do so in one of the areas covered by the degree, such as:
- Data science
- Biotechnology
- Neurotechnology
- Neuromarketing
It is also an objective of this degree program to equip graduates with a wide set of analytic and communication skills and critical thinking. Such citizens will be prepared to participate in the ethical and social challenges that the interaction of neurosciences with artificial intelligence will pose to society in the coming years.
By the end of this degree, graduates will:
- Demonstrate knowledge about the various areas of neuroscience and know how to autonomously analyse and synthesise knowledge about the different levels of nervous system functioning using relevant literature in the field;
- Identify, choose, and apply techniques for the study of chemical, cellular, genetic, and physiological phenomena of the nervous system;
- Know the basics of signal processing and statistics, implementing them with programming languages relevant to real world problems;
- Understand the principles and methodologies of acquiring and analysing signals from the nervous system;
- Possess scientific research skills in a responsible and ethical manner;
- Have the ability to work in teams and show efficient time management;
- Develop critical thinking and science communication skills, both in specialised forums and in their daily life, contributing to improving society's scientific literacy.
