While admission in a Master's programme of the Faculties of Life Sciences or psychology is necessary, it does not guarantee admission to the Graduate School of Pain.
An information meeting on the EURIDOL training programme is proposed to Master's students who have been accepted in one of the three Master's tracks in Neuroscience at the University of Strasbourg. This meeting is organised during the first Master's year.
Following this information session, interested students submit their application to EURIDOL. A very good academic record, English language skills as well as a letter of application showcasing the motivation for the 5-year integrated training programme will be key for admission.
Candidates will be informed about their admission to EURIDOL towards the end of the first year of their Master's studies.
