Neuroscience

About this programme

Our Neuroscience MSci 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 our behaviour. Our four-year Neuroscience degree with an integrated master’s (MSci) will give you the biological and psychological grounding to explore the brain, nervous system and how the body works. You will explore how this insight, and recent scientific advances in these areas, provide a gateway to life-changing treatments and interventions for common conditions such as schizophrenia, autism, mood disorders and dementia. This research-led integrated master’s degree (MSci) in neuroscience will be an ideal basis for a host of exciting careers across the academic, pharmaceutical, health and biotechnology sectors. Your advanced skills and research experience will help to give you an edge in a competitive job market, both within the field of neuroscience and beyond. And, because you will build your skills and competence in experimental design, data recording, analysis, presentations, 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. This additional experience will be invaluable in a future career, particularly if you go on
