Course programme
Students will develop a foundational knowledge of neuroanatomy, understand the principles and main technical aspects of neuroimaging instrumentation and data acquisition, basic image processing and image analysis techniques, and gain a good working knowledge of modern methods for scientific and clinical investigation of the human nervous system using neuroimaging.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of six core modules (90 credits), a library project (30 credits) and a research project (60 credits).
A Postgraduate Diploma is offered in full-time, part-time and distance learning mode, consisting of six core modules (90 credits) and a library project (30 credits).
Core modulesAll of the Advanced Neuroimaging modules are considered core modules
- Physical Science module 1: Introductory Science and Methods
- Physical Science module 2: Imaging Modalities
- Physical Science module 3: Advanced Imaging
- Clinical module 1: Introduction to Neuroanatomy, Systems & Disease
- Clinical module 2: Pathology & Diagnostic Imaging I
- Clinical module 3: Pathology & Diagnostic Imaging II
- Library project
- Research Project
Please note: every face-to-face module has a distance learning equivalent with alternative learning activities.
Optional modulesThere are no optional modules for this programme.
Dissertation/reportAll students undertake a library project which is assessed by a 5,000-word project, and a laboratory research project which culminates in a 10,000-word dissertation.
Teaching and learningThe programme is taught by lectures and workshops delivered by experts in various clinical and technical fields of neuroimaging. Assessment is through written examination, coursework, presentations, research project, dissertation and viva voce. Distance learning students may spend up to three months in London carrying out the research project and receiving relevant training and mentoring. Alternatively they may carry out an extended systematic review of the literature related to a chosen field within neuroimaging. In exceptional circumstances students may carry out the research project remotely if they are based at a hospital with established research links with Principal Investigators at the UCL Institute of Neurology.
