Medical students
Medical students are welcome in neuroscience.
Several possibilities are available to you depending on your background and your desires:
- Integrate the masters of neuroscience
- Integrating PhD-to-MD training
Integrating the masters of neuroscience
How to integrate the masters of neuroscience?
Medical students (including those taking a break after the 3rd year) are subject to the same rules as other students in the second year (M2). For more information, contact the master’s department or check our internship FAQ.
Integrating PhD-to-MD training
How to integrate the PhD-to-MD training?
Every year, the PhD Program in Neuroscience at Aix-Marseille University (AMU) offers to finance one year of science thesis for interns or young doctors. This call for applications is addressed to interns or young doctors who wish to spend a year of research in the framework of a neuroscience thesis in an AMU laboratory. The fellowships are fully funded by the AMU Academy of Excellence (A*MIDEX) and aim to foster links between doctors and researchers, encourage doctors’ involvement in experimental research, and promote a brand new PhD-for-MD programme.
The selection process takes place in 3 stages:
- a call for projects for research teams from Aix-Marseille University laboratories,
- a call for applications from interns or young doctors,
- interviewing shortlisted candidates.
INSERM Liliane Bettencourt School competition
A double curriculum in medicine and science
The Inserm Liliane Bettencourt School offers early training in research to students in their second year of medicine, pharmacy or dentistry. The aim is to enable young doctors and pharmacists to participate in, and then direct, clinical and/or fundamental research activities, as of the internship and during the clinic.
