Overview
Your browser does not support iframes
The aim of this programme is to train a new generation of physicians and scientists able to successfully transfer neuroscience and pharmacology discoveries from the bench to the bedside. The course emphasizes a true translational approach by teaching basic science in an academic environment, involving you in current research techniques and also offering the opportunity to meet patients suffering from a range of neurological diseases.
The topics covered range from the principles of drug design and development to clinical aspects of the management of major neurological diseases, thus providing specialised training and essential skills for translational research. The clinical component is unique to this course and ties together the scientific, clinical and personal aspects of neurological disease.
This programme will give you a thorough training in the main concepts and methods of translational medicine, with a particular focus on unmet needs in diseases of the nervous system, and will critically discuss the challenges associates with developing better therapies in various diseases. At the end of their studies students will have a detailed knowledge of the drug discovery and development process, and of clinical trial design and methodology and also a thorough understanding of the regulatory environment.
The formal teaching includes lectures, seminars, clinical workshops and a research project. Our lecturers are specialists in their field and are well-known pre-clinical scientists and expert clinicians. There are also invited speakers - leading researchers from other UK or international academic institutions and senior scientists from the pharmaceutical industry and the research councils.

Course programme

Structure

Neuroscience and Translational Medicine is available to study at MSc level over one year full-time.

Undertaking a Masters programme is a major commitment, with weekly contact hours being complemented by numerous hours of independent learning and research needed to progress at the required level. When coursework or examination deadlines are approaching independent learning hours may need to increase significantly. Please contact the MSc Course Director or MSc Course Administrator for more detailed information on the number of contact hours per week for this programme.

Teaching

Timetables are likely to be finalised in September each year but you may be able to gain an expectation of what will be required and deaitls of the teaching delivery, from discussions the Course Administrator or Course Director.

Modules

The programme is structured with compulsory modules in Semester 1 and a choice of electives in Semester 2. A research project, either laboratory or literature based, must be taken in Semester 3.
