Utilise exciting cutting-edge neuroscience techniques to advance our understanding of the nervous system
Our nervous system is the most complex and highly organised system within our body. This incredible network is responsible for generating our perception, thoughts, and even our behaviour. During your course, you will seek to understand how this structure operates, before using this understanding to tackle real-world challenges such as ageing, stroke recovery and spinal cord injury repair.
This unique Masters course is ideal for those interested in Neuroscience even if they have not completed a Neuroscience undergraduate degree. All you need to do is show evidence of your passion for the subject while applying. The flexibility of the programme combined with the breadth of topics covered, ensures any student with a relevant background will be able to adapt and flourish during the course.
What sets our Neuroscience Masters degree apart from similar programmes, is the almost year-long laboratory based project. This major research project will provide you with the opportunity to not only develop and learn innovative techniques, but also apply them in a hands-on setting. You will build invaluable practical experience, crucial for your future career or PhD.
The broad nature of this postgraduate degree includes topics such as coding, data analysis and presenting, all of which are vital for advancing in the field of Neuroscience. On this course you will choose from a wealth of different research areas, allowing you to contribute to research teams and topics you are personally passionate about.
Each of the four subject areas listed below contains a multitude of speciality teams which you may be able to join.
Research areas include:
A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) , IELTS 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in any component

There is a need for students to be trained in the outlined neurological aspects of this programme, with a view of understanding the underlying biological principles, if we are to keep up to speed with changes in future research and to develop new tools for medical interventions
There is an increasing demand for people skilled in the knowledge of biological sciences applied to healthcare in the form of medical and biological technology needing. The knowledge of innovative use of fresh developments in the fields of data gathering and analysis is critical and is leading to a drive forward towards an innovative and disruptive technological development for improving diagnosis and therapies for mental health, mobility and common conditions like pain.
Upon completion of this programme you will be well-placed to undertake a PhD in this field or as junior research assistants if working in an academic or industrial environment.
