About
UConn Neuroscience in Salamanca, Spain will introduce students to Neuroscience at an international level. Sponsored by the Honors Program and the Department of Neuroscience, this five week program will be taught by a team of international scientists. It is a joint effort by the University of Connecticut, the Institute of Neuroscience of Castilla y Leon, and the University of Salamanca. The program is designed for Honors students, upper class Pre-med, Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, Psychology, and Audiology Communication Science majors.
The program will take place at the University of Salamanca (USAL), founded in 1218. A college town that is both medieval and modern, Salamanca was founded by the Romans in the 4th century, and it teems with cafes, tapas bars, shops, night life, and a rich mix of locals, students, and European tourists. Students will learn about Neuroscience and Spanish culture by becoming immersed in the vibrant life of this truly unique city.
