The specialised master in Neurosurgery includes one year of specialised master in Neurology, one year of specialised master in Surgery and four years of neurosurgery. The neurosurgery and surgery years are spread over the first two years of the internship plan introduced by the Commission Francophone d'Agrément en Neurochirurgie. Students are required to be confirmed for each year in line with the respective conditions for these two specialised masters with regard to classes and the evaluations.
