Our Neuroscience MSc course offers multidisciplinary training in a range of neuroscience topics, particularly those relevant to psychiatry, psychology and neurology. It prepares graduates from diverse backgrounds for the next stage of their careers, whether that be 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.

I was given an incredible opportunity in undertaking the course, exploring my interests within neuroscience and making connections that led to most of the opportunities I have today.
Our Neuroscience course features three core fundamental modules, followed by one optional module of your choice, and concludes with a research project lasting approximately 20-weeks.
