Neuroscience brings together scientists with a wide range of skills and backgrounds to examine fundamental aspects of our brains and behaviour, and to develop new drugs and therapies to treat some of the most feared and debilitating diseases.
Choosing from our wide range of lecture modules, you have the opportunity to focus on areas of particular interest in this fast-paced field. The practical research project provides up to six months’ experience in one of our interdisciplinary laboratories, giving you the experience you need for a career in neuroscience.
