Bachelor in Neuroscience

Exchange programs

The Erasmus programme permits UC3M first degree and post graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, that is a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which are provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

The non-european mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.

These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold  (English, French, German etc..) requested by the university of destination.

Entry profile

The recommended entry profile focuses on the Bachelor of Science, which provides specific training in key areas. This approach develops essential knowledge and competencies, preparing students optimally for their university studies. In accordance with Spanish regulations, the Baccalaureate includes core subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Technical Drawing and Biology, in addition to other related subjects that contribute to the integral formation of the student and are linked to the Bachelor's Degree curriculum.

In addition to high school students, another important group of access to the Bachelor's Degrees are those coming from Vocational Training.

Graduate profile

The Degree in Neuroscience integrates knowledge of Neurology, Biology, Psychology, Mathematics, Bioengineering and Computation, providing applied training, but clearly excluding direct clinical medical practice. The objective of the degree is to provide new professionals with basic knowledge in the different areas in an integrated manner that can be applied to relevant issues related to the functioning of the nervous system at a technical level and can serve as a basis for their integration into the labor market or access to more advanced specializations. To this end, the proposed training objectives are:

1. Acquire knowledge, demonstrating an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects and methodology of work in the field of Neuroscience with a depth that reaches the forefront of knowledge.
2. Acquire the ability to bring creative and innovative solutions to the practical and theoretical resolution of problems based on the functioning of the nervous system and the brain; acquire personal and professional problem-solving skills in the design and execution of Neuroscience experiments, including computer modeling and data analysis techniques.
3. Possess the ability to collect and interpret data and information on which to base their conclusions, including reflection on social, scientific or ethical issues in the field of Neuroscience.
4. To be able to manage in situations that require the development of new solutions in the academic, work or professional environment within the field of Neuroscience.
5. Know how to communicate in a clear and precise way, knowledge, methodologies, ideas, problems and solutions in the field of Neuroscience.
6. Identify their own training needs in their field of Neuroscience and their work or professional environment and to organize their own learning with a high degree of autonomy in all types of contexts.
