Academic Requirements
Admission to the MSc programme in Neuroscience requires a bachelor's degree (or an equivalent 3-year education) in biochemistry, biology, biomathematics, biomedical science, biophysics, biotechnology, neuroscience or psychology. Other relevant disciplines (e.g. informatics, medicine, movement science, pharmaceutics, philosophy, radiography) may be accepted after an individual evaluation of the applicant's qualifications.

Applicants are encouraged to include one of the NTNU-based courses NEVR2010 (Introduction to Neuroscience) or NEVR2030 (Condensed Introduction to Neuroscience) as a part of their bachelor's degree. Students who do not have NEVR2010/2030 (or an equivalent background in Neuroscience) when admitted, are encouraged to discuss their own educational background with the programme chair and/or course coordinators in order to get suggestions on relevant reading materials and a selection of NEVR2010 lectures to follow.

Language Requirements
International applicants must document skills in English language, for example by a TOEFL test (score 500/170 or higher) or an IELTS test (score 5.0 or higher). Further information about the language requirements and possible exemptions is available on this webpage.
