Apply to graduate school

Join us in world-class neuroengineering research!

Students interested in graduate studies in neuroengineering can apply to one of the existing graduate groups or programs on campus by following their respective application requirements. In addition, contact us at this link to let us know about your interest in studying neuroengineering and send us questions. The most relevant graduate groups or programs for neuroengineering at UC Davis are listed below (not exclusively). 

To pursue a PhD as a Graduate Student:

  1.  Begin an application to grad school with UC Davis at https://apply.grad.ucdavis.edu/apply
  2.  In the 'Plans for Graduate Study' section, choose a Neuroengineering-allied Graduate Group (listed below)
  3.  For 'Faculty Mentors', consider adding desired faculty from https://neuroengineering.ucdavis.edu/people
  4.  Include your "neuroengineering" interest in your 'Statement of Purpose'
  5.  After enrolling, current UC Davis grad students can then apply to become for NeuralStorm fellowships here: https://neuroengineering.ucdavis.edu/nsf-training-program-neuralstorm
