Neuroscience

About this programme

Our neuroscience degree will provide you with a deep understanding of the nervous system. You will study its role in human behaviour and brain disorders including schizophrenia, autism, mood disorders and dementia. Our brains and nervous systems work together to enable us to make sense of the world around us. They coordinate our body, create emotions and sensations and ultimately determine how we behave. Our Neuroscience BSc will give you the biological and psychological grounding to explore the brain, nervous system and how the body works. You will explore how these insights, and recent scientific advances in these areas, provide a gateway to the development of life-changing treatments and interventions for common conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, mood disorders and dementia. Your degree in neuroscience will be an ideal basis for a host of exciting careers across the pharmaceutical, health, biotechnology and academic sectors, offering you the scientific knowledge, practical lab skills and career-ready mindset to succeed. And, because you will build your skills and competence in experimental design, data recording, analysis and presentation, effective project management, teamwork and communication, you will have the highly-transferable skills valued by employers both within the sciences and in broader fields such as marketing, finance and management. Our academics have carefully designed this course to provide you with a progressive training in neuroscience. As a neuroscience student at Lancaster, you will get a practical education - putting your learning in
