COVID-19 Updates on didactic activities for the second semester 2020/21

The University of Pisa, founded in 1343,  is amongst the top institutions in the majority of international rankings.   According to the latest Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) 2019 the University of Pisa is ranked between 151st and 200th in the world and between 1st and 3rd in Italy. According to the QS World University Ranking 2019, the University of Pisa ranks 389th worldwide. It is amongst the top 10 in Italy in 24 subjects out of the 48 surveyed by QS Rankings by subject.

A two-year Master Degree Programme in Neuroscience, held completely in English, has been running since the academic year 2016 - 17 as a collaboration between the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore, with the contribution of the Institute of Neuroscience of CNR. This Master Degree will continue the tradition of excellence in Neuroscience in Pisa, pioneered by Giuseppe Moruzzi in the 1950’s and 60’s and flourished thereafter with Lamberto Maffei. With such a strong scientific legacy, Pisa offers a very active and competitive scientific environment for studies in Neuroscience. Aim of the course is to provide an interdisciplinary training spanning across a wide variety of experimental and computational approaches to contemporary Neuroscience, from the molecular and cellular level to the analysis of higher cognitive functions in the human brain. We wish to attract into Neuroscience Programme not only students possessing a BSc (or equivalent) degree in a strictly biological field, but also students coming from a wide range of different educational routes.
