General Information regarding the exams
Although no distinction is made between University Degrees, candidates should have basic knowledge of Cell Biology and Nervous System Physiology to submit their candidacy for enrollment.
Basic knowledge in these fields will be assessed through multiple-choice exams on a specified date. This knowledge is essential for students to achieve maximum performance during their studies and to ensure homogeneity in terms of knowledge level.
Candidates who fail to demonstrate sufficient knowledge of Cell Biology and Nervous System Physiology will not be accepted into the program.
Preparation Resources
Applicants who have not been taught these specific subjects should make arrangements to attend relevant undergraduate courses, online seminars, or read relevant books. You can find free textbooks at the following sources:
- Open Textbooks at University of Minnesota
- OER Commons
- Other credible sources.
