This programme provides an opportunity for intensive advanced training in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. Staff involved in teaching and supervision include internationally recognised researchers and clinicians from our Human Cognitive Neuroscience Research Group. Staff expertise covers a range of topics including memory, visual perception, decision making, executive functions, social cognition and language, and staff use a variety of research methods to address their research interests in healthy and clinical populations.
You will take courses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of cognitive neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology and brain imaging, and conduct an original research dissertation in one of these areas. You will also receive thorough training in advanced academic skills and research methods within psychology, including a comprehensive coverage of statistical modelling and research design using the R statistical language.
A UK first class honours degree, or its international equivalent, in Psychology.
We may also consider students without a psychology degree if you can demonstrate academic study in cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, biological psychology and/or clinical psychology, together with a solid preparation in methodology and statistics.
Entry to this programme is extremely competitive.
