Neuroscience, BSc (Hons)

Explore the workings of the brain and neurological conditions like epilepsy, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s through this Royal Society of Biology-accredited Neuroscience course. You will examine the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, and related disorders, covering concepts from genomics to clinical neuroscience. Key disciplines include behaviour, cellular and molecular biology, experimental design, genetics, pharmacology, physiology, neuroanatomy, neuroimmune interactions, and environmental neuroscience. The programme allows customisation via optional modules and research projects, guided by expert scientists to enhance your knowledge.The course features a mix of core and optional modules across three years. Year one provides a solid foundation in neuroscience fundamentals, including human physiology and cellular processes. In year two, you will deepen your understanding of key areas like behavioural neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, and the ageing brain, with hands-on training in practical techniques. Year three centres on a research project, potentially lab-based with university researchers, alongside advanced optional modules. For the latest details, consult the course page on our website.
