The aim of this one-year full-time course is to provide you with a broad research training in neuroscience, which will prepare you for PhD studies and enable you to make a more informed choice for your research. You will complete three projects during the year, designed to give you practical experience of laboratory research, and chosen to cover a wide range of skills. Projects are provided by academics who are leaders in their fields of research and cover a wide range of disciplines including: cell and molecular biology genetics neuropathology imaging You will also be required to write three mini-dissertations on set topics covering all aspects of neuroscience. On completion of the course you should have an understanding of the basic and applied aspects of research in the field of neuroscience and a range of transferable skills. The skills acquired will also be of value for those wishing to pursue a career in clinical service, industry or scientific publishing.

Course programme
The first week consists of an introduction to the College, and several transferable skills sessions. Additional transferable skills training is available according to individual student requirements.
You will complete three projects of at least 12 weeks each during the year, designed to give practical experience of laboratory research, and chosen to cover a wide range of skills. In addition, you write three mini-dissertations on set topics covering all aspects of neuroscience.
Topics for the mini-dissertations are set at the start of the rotations.
Students will be assessed at the end of each project by written report (4,000–6,000 words), supervisor’s assessment of laboratory skills and an assessment of their oral presentation of the project work (February, May and September). Each project accounts for 25% of the course mark.
Mini-dissertations will be assessed after each rotation and account for the remaining 25% of the course mark.
