Neuroscience, MSci (Hons), with industry placement

Explore the intricacies of the brain with our MSci in Neuroscience, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. This programme delves into the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, and neurological conditions like epilepsy, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s. It spans concepts from genomics to clinical neuroscience, covering disciplines such as behaviour, cellular and molecular biology, experimental design, genetics, pharmacology, physiology, neuroanatomy, neuroimmune interactions, and environmental neuroscience. Students can customise their studies through optional modules and research projects, guided by expert scientists to enhance their knowledge.The course includes core and optional modules across four years. Year one introduces neuroscience fundamentals, including human physiology and cellular processes. Year two builds on these with practical techniques in areas like behavioural neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, and the ageing brain. Year three focuses on a research project, potentially lab-based, alongside specialised options. The MSci extends to a year-long research project in year four, which may be lab- or literature-focused.
