PhD in Neuroscience

Final defense

Students who have been admitted to thesis defense are requested to send the final draft of their thesis to the PhD coordinator. The files Word and Pdf of the thesis have to be sent to the PhD coordinator via email.

The thesis should be accompanied by a brief summary (Pre-thesis_Report) and a list of publications. The coordinator will submit the thesis to two external reviewers. Reviewers, who should also be members of the thesis defense committee, are expected to submit their report within one month. The report will be sent to the student, who may be invited to make revisions to the thesis. Once the thesis will be in its final version, the discussion session will be organised. 

Students can choose to include publications as part of their thesis. In this case, publications should be accompanied by an introduction and conclusion, in order to place them within the structure of the thesis. Submitted and in proof articles should be included in a format comparable to monograph thesis content.
