Course programme
Students learn about the relationship between the mind and the brain in patients and healthy individuals, alongside the ideas, methodology, and current state of knowledge in cognitive neuroscience. In addition to specialised, research-oriented training, the programme develops key transferable skills. These include project management, logical thinking, oral and written communication, and independent learning. The MRes has a greater emphasis on the research project than the Cognitive Neuroscience MSc.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits.
The programme consists of two key skills modules (30 credits), two optional modules (one from Group One and one from Group Two to a total value of 30 credits) and a substantial research project (120 credits).
Core modules- Key Skills Module: Generic Research Skills – Statistics
- Key Skills Module: Communication Skills in Cognitive Neuroscience
Students choose one optional module from group one and one module from group two
- Structure and Function of the Brain
- Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience I: Lesion Approaches
- Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience II: Neuroimaging – Designing and Analysing fMRI Experiments
- Current Issues in Cognitive Neuroscience I: Fundamental Processes
- Current Issues in Cognitive Neuroscience II: Elaborative and Adaptive Processes
- Current Issues in Cognitive Neuroscience III: Translational Research
All students undertake an empirical research project in the area of cognitive neuroscience, which culminates in a dissertation of 15,000–17,000 words.
Teaching and learningThe programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, tutorials, problem classes, laboratory classes and student presentations. Depending on the chosen optional modules, it includes case demonstrations of neuropsychological patients, hands-on experience with the analysis of neuroimaging data, critical analyses of published scientific papers, and discussion seminars. Assessment is through examinations, essays, practical exercises, reports and the research dissertation.
