Will equip graduates with the tools for the next stage of their career either clinically or if pursuing research e.g. PhD.

The programme enables trainees in neurology, psychiatry and related health-care disciplines to study the anatomical, physiological and pathological basis of symptoms and signs of brain disorders. The course aims to: provide in-depth knowledge and skills related to specialist clinical practice; develop a detailed understanding of; systematically integrate advances in genetics, molecular neuroscience, electrophysiology and neuroimaging into clinical practice; work independently within a multidisciplinary environment; work at an advanced level to develop and sustain evidence-based practice; appraise and conduct clinical research and audit; critically evaluate their own and others' research.
