BSc Neuroscience
About this course
BSc in Neuroscience, a biomedical science degree examining the physiological and structural organization of the human brain and nervous system. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Laboratory Techniques, Research Methods, Clinical Skills, Communication & Writing, Entrepreneurship, Human Behaviour, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, and Design & Creative Practice. Students can boost employability by undertaking an optional professional placement year in the UK or abroad to work with leading research teams. The first year covers core foundations through Fundamentals of Pharmacology, Introduction to Neuroscience, Introduction to Genetics, Medical Cell Biology, Chemistry of Life, Methods in Neuroscience, and Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience. The second year expands into advanced research methodologies and physiological processes with Advanced Methods in Neuroscience, Neural Circuits, Neuropharmacology, Brain and Behaviour, Neuroanatomy, and Cognitive Neuroscience, alongside optional modules covering topics such as Medical Genetics, The Biology of Cancer, and Biomedical Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The final year centers around independent investigation through the Neuroscience Research Project and Frontiers in Neuroscience, with further options available in areas like Pharmacogenomics, Rational Drug Design, Science Communication, and Neuroimmunology.
