I have chosen to apply for the Neurasmus programme because of my eagerness to unravel the mysteries of the human brain, with the aim to understand how it works and what happens when it doesn’t. I think this programme represented the best opportunity for me to gain knowledges and competences necessary to work in the field of neuroscience, thanks to the basic courses offered during the first year, useful to build up a strong neuroscientific background, and thanks to the two internship projects we need to work on during the two years. I also value the international experience that this programme provides, because it’s giving me the possibility to meet amazing new people from all over the world to share my experience with.
