Our Neuroscience MSc course will provide you with multidisciplinary training in a range of neuroscience topics, particularly those relevant to psychiatry, psychology and neurology. It seeks to equip graduates from a wide range of backgrounds for the next stage of their career, which may be either further full-time study in a neuroscience-related academic research environment, or employment in an academic, clinical or pharmaceutical organisation. Please note that the two year part-time programme runs on alternate years. The next intake will be September 2022.
“Within my Master’s cohort, everyone was very close knit and looked after each other. A lot of my coursemates have gone on to PhD as well. We enjoyed the course so much we all seem to have carried on with various academic pursuits.”
Our Neuroscience course offers three taught required fundamental modules, followed by one chosen taught specialised optional module and ending with an approximately 20-week research project. Students choosing a research project in the same subject area as their specialised module may graduate with an MSc Neuroscience in that specialty. We will use a delivery method that will ensure students have a rich, exciting experience from the start. Face to face teaching will be complemented and supported with innovative technology so that students also experience elements of digital learning and assessment. “With growing problems, such as Alzheimer’s, effecting the entire population, we need people from across the globe to combine their experience and expertise.” Eamonn Walsh, Course Leader

Teaching
You’ll never have to rely on a textbook at King’s. All of our teaching team carry out their own research, so you’ll always be up to speed with the latest thinking in the field.
One day, you might be listening to someone who has recently given a TED talk on a ground-breaking topic. Another day, you might be listening to an academic who has just published a paper in a leading journal.
We focus on developing your practical skills too. For example, you’ll examine human brains from our Brain Bank, comparing healthy and unhealthy examples.

The primary methods of assessment for this course are written examinations, coursework and practical work. The study time and assessment methods typically give an indication of what to expect. However, these may vary depending upon the modules.
Neuroimaging: Investigating Brain Function and Dysfunction
The course is divided into taught and research modules. Over the course of your study you will take modules totaling 180 credits.
In addition, students take 30 credits from a choice of optional modules that may typically include:
C Research Project module The research component will allow students to gain training and experience in hypothesis-driven academic research. Students choosing a research project in the same subject area as their specialised module may graduate with MSc Neuroscience within that specialty.
King’s College London reviews the modules offered on a regular basis to provide up-to-date, innovative and relevant programmes of study. Therefore, modules offered may change. We suggest you keep an eye on the course finder on our website for updates.
Please note that modules with a practical component will be capped due to educational requirements, which may mean that we cannot guarantee a place to all students who elect to study this module.
This course provides excellent training for students who wish to pursue a broad range of careers including an academic or research career, or those who wish to enter medical school, the pharmaceutical industry, or train as clinical psychologists, or work as scientific writers.
