General information about courses and how to register
The courses listed under the links above offer a pluri-disciplinary education in all fields of neuroscience and help you to acquire complementary skills important for, e.g. project management or outreach activities, too. PhD candidates without a study background in neuroscience or biomedical sciences are especially encouraged to also follow Msc courses to complement their training (please also see here and below).
Information about credit validation can be found here.
- Courses listed are given in English if nothing else is indicated.
- Course dates are constantly updated. For courses with so far unknown dates the respective column is empty or only gives an indication of the foreseen period.

Introductory Neuroscience Materials
Introductory neuroscience reading materials are available for students who have to (or want to) complement their study background and/or were asked to attend Master courses in neuroscience in their LNDS acceptance letter.
Suggestions regarding additions are always welcome!
The reading materials are accessible in the LNDS Moodle e-learning system:
• Go to “https://moodle2.unil.ch“.
• Log in with your institutional/university address.
• Choose on “Faculté de Biologie et de Médecine” > “Ecole doctorale / doctoral school” > “Lemanic Neuroscience Doctoral School”.
• Materials are stored under “Introductory Neuroscience Tutorial”. Please use the self-enrollment method.
