The first interviews for extra-EU students were held on 26 July and 10 August 2023.

Extra-EU students who have not attended the interviews in July and August can attend the interviews in September, October and November. Students who will show up later are aware of the slow times with which embassies issue visas.

The next interviews will be on 5 September at 9:00 Italian time. Interviews will be held online on the teams platform. The address for the connection will be sent to interested parties by email.

To be admitted to the Master's degree in Neuroscience, you must pass the interview for the verification of the criteria and basic knowledge and provide an English Certification at least equal to B2.

To enroll, you have to submit an enrollment application on Student Portal. Please follow the instructions in the Tutorial

Dalla segmentazione di immagini mediche, all'applicazione delle reti neurali a dataset, alla struttura di internet, passando per i casi clinici descritti da Oliver Sacks, con riferimenti alle tavole sull'ontogenesi di Haeckel e all'analisi di opere d'arte realizzate da pazienti psichiatrici, il reperimento e l'analisi di dati nelle neuroscience è il filo conduttore di studi che collegano scienza e arte. Ed è stato il tema del corso "Information Processing Systems for Neuroscience", tenuto in inglese dalla dott.ssa Maria Mannone per gli studenti di Neurosciences dell'Università di Palermo. Si è trattato di un viaggio, dai numeri binari, all'idea di algoritmo, fino alle tecniche di data mining. Gli studenti hanno inoltre preparato delle esposizioni su articoli scientifici scelti dalla docente, da studi sugli errori di interpretazioni di MRI ai pionieristici brain-on-a-chip, e svolto esercitazione pratiche hands-on. Matematica e informatica diventano strumenti di pensiero, al servizio della conoscenza, e del miglioramento delle vite.

From medical images segmentation to the application of neural networks to datasets, to the internet structure, passing through the clinical cases described by Oliver Sacks, with references to Haeckel's ontogeny drawings and the analysis of artworks by psychiatric patients, the retrieval and analysis of data in the neurosciences is the leitmotif of studies connecting science and art. And that was the theme of the course "Information Processing Systems for Neuroscience," taught in English by Dr. Maria Mannone, for the students of Neurosciences of the University of Palermo. It was a journey, from binary numbers to the algorithm concept, up to data mining techniques. Students also prepared presentations on scientific articles suggested by the prof, from studies on MRI interpretation errors to pioneering brain-on-a-chip. The students also performed hands-on practical exercises. Mathematics and information technology become tools of thought, serving knowledge and life improvement.

Today 20 July at 9.30 in the historic Aula Nesci of the Anatomy and Histology plexus of the Department of Biomedicine, Neuroscience and advanced diagnostics, the thesis discussion of one of the first graduating students of the new master's degree course entirely in English called "Neuoscience" was held. The course is part of the LM-6 Biology category, and therefore gives access to the Order of Biologists, but many doctors request it to complete their preparation and be interested in basic scientific research as well as in the department.

The students of the course are both Italian and foreign, among the foreigners there are biologists and doctors from different parts of the world, from the United States to Germany, from Ethiopia to Russia, from Iran to Ireland.
The thesis of the student Martina Bavetta presents experiments conducted at the University of Resovia in Poland, during an Erasmus study period lasting one academic year. Prof. Tabrkiewicz spoke in attendance, coming from Poland to attend the graduation exam. This opportunity will allow the University of Palermo to start the feasibility study to ask for the double degree.

Oggi 20 Luglio alle ore 9.30 presso la storica Aula Nesci del Plesso di Anatomia e Istologia del Dipartimento di Biomedicina, Neuroscienze e diagnostica avanzata, si terrà la discussione della tesi di una delle prime studentesse laureande del nuovo corso di laurea magistrale interamente in lingua inglese denominato "Neuoscience". Il corso fa parte della categoria LM-6 Biologia, e quindi dà accesso all'Ordine dei biologi, ma molti medici ne fanno richiesta per completare la loro preparazione e interessarsi alla ricerca scientifica di base oltre che al reparto.

Gli studenti del corso sono sia italiani che stranieri, tra gli stranieri vi sono studenti biologi e medici provenienti da diverse parti del mondo, dagli Stati Uniti, alla Germania, dall'Etiopia alla Russia, dall'Iran all'Irlanda.
La tesi della studentessa Martina Bavetta presenta esperimenti condotti presso l'Università di Resovia in Polonia, durante un periodo di studio Erasmus durato un anno accademico. Il Prof. Tabrkiewicz è intervenuto in presenza, venendo dalla Polonia per assistere all'esame di laurea. Questa occasione permetterà all'Università di Palermo di iniziare lo studio di fattibilità per chiedere il doppio titolo.

Dear students,
I think it is better if I write to you directly because you are all asking me the same thing.
The deadline for the Erasmus call for studies is April 15. But this is only the first call for those who want to go in the first semester of next year or for the whole year.
Those who want to go in the second semester should wait for another call.
The only university you can go to is the College for Medical Sciences of the University of Rzeszow. There are 3 places and considering that you are 9, that is enough. There will be more places in the next call.
The university and the country is decided by the Internationalisation Officer of my department. And considering that there are only 9 students in our course, that is enough.
First of all, only the students who have taken subjects will be selected and the ranking will be based on the number of credits earned.
Then, if you apply for this call, you can do the second year internship, the first semester subjects of the second year and also the thesis. If you apply for the second semester, you can take exams that you did not take in the first and second year, or attend a lab for a joint thesis between unipa and the University of Rzeszow, without any dealy in your final exam.
You can check the website of the College for Medical Sciences of the University of Rzeszow to see if they have the same subjects, but in any case, the office responsible for that university will put together your study plan after you reach the Polish university. There is no guarantee that you will be able to take the same subjects as in Palermo. Be prepared for this. There may be a possibility to take more subjects than in Palermo.

The Erasmus call for traineeship is also useful, but you can also just do an internship (as part of the curriculum, an additional internship, or an internship after graduation).
The advantage is that you can go wherever you want, but in any case the University of Palermo can recognise the credits for the thesis. In this case you will need an Italian supervisor for the thesis.
It is better to apply for an internship if you want to do it after graduation, or if you have an agreement with your thesis tutor. You will need to come back to take the exams in Palermo.
