Application

The interdisciplinary Neuroscience and Neurotechnology Ph.D. program at Georgia Institute of Technology welcomes applications from students with undergraduate training in a broad range of areas including psychology, biology, mathematics, engineering, and computing. 

Prospective students apply through Georgia Tech’s online graduate application. First, you should carefully review faculty research interests. The faculty list on Georgia Tech’s Neuro Next website showcases the breadth of research at GT. To be eligible to serve as student research supervisors in our PhD program in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (NSNT), a faculty member must have a formalized affiliation with the Georgia Institute of Technology. Through Georgia Tech’s partnership with Emory University, primary faculty in the Coulter School of Biomedical Engineering are eligible to supervise NSNT students.

 During the application process, you will be prompted to select one of the following two admissions pathways: 

• PhD in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology in the School of Biological Sciences 

• PhD in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology in the School of Psychology 

• PhD in Neuroscience and Neurotechnology in the School of Biomedical Engineering

You should select the admissions pathway associated with the school/department of the research advisor you select as your first choice (the advisor’s home school/department is identified in the link provided above). If the school/department of your selected research advisor does not appear above, then please apply through the Biological Sciences pathway.   

While providing a preliminary selection of advisor and school/department helps the admissions process, it does not restrict your selection of a different advisor or school/department at a later stage.
