Become a part our community by joining one of our many programmes of study Joining the Edinburgh Neuroscience community From undergraduate students to professors, Edinburgh Neuroscience provides a real community environment for all of our researchers as well as a thriving hub for our research activity. We bring together neuroscientists from across all research centres and from across different disciplines. We work hard to keep our researchers informed about seminars, interesting news and funding opportunities. We also organise scientific and social events that encourage interdisciplinary interaction, and make sure that everyone is able to fully participate in our community. Undergraduate Masters PhD Skills and Career Development Our students are actively encouraged to develop additional transferable and personal skills as part of their career development. In addition to the numerous transferrable skills training opportunities provided by the University of Edinburgh's Institute for Academic Development, Edinburgh Neuroscience provides opportunities to further enable career and personal development through neuroscience-related activities.We encourage our PhD students to aspire to the very highest research standards and provide opportunities for students to develop their research-related skills through tailored opportunities such as our Autumn School for PhD Students. It was created by Edinburgh Neuroscience to encourage interdisciplinary mixing from the earliest stages of a research career, instilling the skills required by researchers to aspire to the very highest research standards and providing information to allow planning for the next career phase. Reaching Out Beyond Research Edinburgh Neuroscience is committed to providing opportunities for students and researchers to extend their own personal development and share their passion for research with the public as well as those in other disciplines. This can be achieved through our outreach and interdisciplinary programmes. For example, our Art-Science Collaboration with the Edinburgh College of Art was established in 2012. FUSION: Art Meets Science encourages true cross-disciplinary interactions by bringing together neuroscientists and artists for discussions, collaborations and exhibitions. Open Days If you're thinking about studying at Edinburgh, come along to a University event to find out from staff and students what it's like. Doctoral College The University of Edinburgh Doctoral College is a coordinating structure for all postgraduate researchers (PGRs), designed to enhance and support the postgraduate student experience.
