What is Neuromatch Academy?
Neuromatch Academy (NMA) teaches computational techniques crucial for success in academia and industry. It serves thousands of students each year with hundreds of teaching assistants (TA). Students learn by solving problems in small groups and by running group projects; they learn in many languages in an incredibly supportive environment.
What’s in a course?
Our courses are intensive 3-week programs involving hands-on tutorials developed by experts in the field. Accepted students are placed into TA-led pods (groups) using the Neuromatch algorithm, which matches students with common interests who are in the same timezone and their preferred language for instruction. Students also receive personalized support as they work through hands-on tutorials and collaborate on course projects. [Please note that course participation requires active attendance and attention of the students for 3 weeks.]
Why should you apply to NMA?
This program provides a dynamic learning experience that fuses neuroscience and computational techniques. Collaborate with a global community of experts and peers, hone your problem-solving skills, and build a supportive network that celebrates inclusivity and accessibility in science education. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to advance your knowledge and skills.
Apply to unlock your potential and propel your career forward!
What does it cost?
Neuromatch Academy’s mission is to make education affordable to everybody, no matter their financial background. We do this by pricing our courses significantly lower than other summer schools, adjusting for national economic factors, and allowing students to pay what they can when those adjustments are insufficient.
