Neuroscience MSc

The programme is designed to give students a broad overview and experience of contemporary neuroscience research: from the intricate workings of an ion channel; to the wonder of how all the cellular machinery results in the higher brain functions that make us who we are. The modules are devised for students who want to build on a basic understanding of neuroscience, most often from a broader biological background or those that have a high-level insight from psychology and cognitive science but also attracts those from diverse backgrounds: from physics to philosophy. A large, challenging project will give you the experience of being embedded in and contributing to an active research laboratory and enable the development of many skills: project planning, data analysis, computer literacy, technical writing, presentation, critical appraisal and time management.
