About this course

BSc (Hons) in Neuroscience, a biomedical science and biological sciences degree exploring the nervous system. The course is part of a suite of biomedical sciences programmes that share a common foundation in the first two years before branching into specialist subjects in the third year, with options to change specialism at the end of that year. The first year covers foundational subjects such as biomedical sciences, medical biology, and molecular and cellular biology. The second year continues with Biomedical Sciences 2, Microorganisms, Infection & Immunity 2, and Cells to Organisms 2. The third year introduces advanced study through Biomedical Sciences 3 and Neuroscience 3. The final fourth year features specialised modules in General Neuroscience alongside independent research options consisting of either original, laboratory-based research or data/literature analysis-based research.
