Program Requirements
MSc Students
In addition to the requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the home program, MSc students are required to complete one 3-unit course from the Computational series, expected to be MDSC628, Introduction to Computational Neuroscience, unless approval is received from the program to substitute another Computational series course.
PhD Students
PhD students are required to select two 3-unit courses from the Computational series. One of the Computational courses is expected to be MDSC628, Introduction to Computational Neuroscience, unless approval is received from the program to substitute another Computational series course.
MSc or PhD in Physics and Astronomy with an Interdisciplinary Specialization in Computational Neuroscience
MSc Students
In addition to meeting the requirements of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and the Faculty of Science (Physics and Astronomy), MSc students are required to select one 3-unit course from the Neuroscience series and one 3-unit course from the Computational series. The Computational course is expected to be MDSC628, Introduction to Computational Neuroscience, unless approval is received from the program to substitute another Computational series course.
PhD Students
PhD students are required to select two 3-unit courses from the Computational series. One of the Computational courses is expected to be MDSC628, Introduction to Computational Neuroscience, unless approval is received from the program to substitute another Computational series course. PhD students are also required to select two 3-unit course from the Neuroscience series.

Note about course substitutions:
Replacement courses for MDSC628 can be justified based on prior coursework and relevance to the student's research project. Suggested alternatives include:
BMEN 619.22 Computational Models in Neuroimaging
BMEN 619.18 Special problems in Machine Learning
PSCH 503 Special Topics: Computational Behavioural Neuroscience
CPSC 601: Connectomics
