Neuroscience Intercalated BSc

Courses are divided into modules. You will normally take modules totalling 120 credits. This is a one year course.

There are three possible pathways:

Option A: Developmental Neuroscience/SystemsNeuroscience/ Neurodegeneration – with the emphasis on laboratory-based research.

Option B: Neuroscience and Neuropsychology – includes a psychology research project

Option C: A library-based research project – a broader range of lecture-based modules, with options to study the conduct of research and undertake laboratory practicals.

Option A: Developmental Neuroscience/SystemsNeuroscience/ Neurodegeneration – with the emphasis on laboratory-based research.

You are required to take the following modules:

• Laboratory-based Research Project in Neuroscience (45 credits)
