Neuroscience Academy Denmark

The vision behind NAD is to create a unique environment for learning, development, and research within Danish neuroscience, with strong collaborations with academic institutions and treatment centres abroad.

Students

NAD is a PhD program for young graduates holding a scientific degree in various neuro-related disciplines, including biology, chemistry, medicine, pharmacology, genetics, and psychiatry.

The PhD program includes a wide range of advanced courses in neuroscience. It is structured such that the first year serves as an introduction and preparatory phase. During this time, each student must complete a series of courses, work in several different laboratories, and—under supervision—formulate a plan for their upcoming PhD project. After that, the student has three years to complete their project. During this period, NAD—aside from the core PhD supervision—will organize courses, seminars, and facilitate collaborations with other students conducting research within the same main field.
