This multidisciplinary, research-focused doctorate deepens students' understanding of the brain and nervous system, from the molecular scale to behaviour, and contributes to the advancement of knowledge and the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for neurological diseases. It leads to the Philosophiae Doctor (Ph.D.) credential, with an estimated full-time duration of four years. The program must be pursued full-time, and admission requires securing a research supervisor before applying, since study centres on an individually directed thesis. Required application documents include a curriculum vitae, a letter of motivation, a research proposal, written confirmation from the supervisor, and three reference reports. Reading comprehension of both French and English is important for success in the program, and admission is offered in the fall, winter and summer sessions.
