About this course
BSc in Human Neuroscience, a biomedical science and cognitive neuroscience and psychology degree examining the nervous system, brain function, and behaviour. Core topics include Data Analysis, Statistics, and Research Methods. The course includes a final-year research placement and an independent research project. The first year covers fundamental concepts through compulsory modules such as Evidence and Enquiry in Neuroscience, Human Movement and Movement Disorders, Introduction to Human Mental Health, and Introduction to Neurophysiology and Human Brain Anatomy. The second year builds upon these topics with modules like Ageing and Dementia, Human Perception and Cognition, Language and Language Disorders, and Science of Bias. In the final year, students complete a Research Project and a Research in Practice placement, alongside the compulsory module The Business of Science Innovation. Optional modules allow students to explore specialised areas such as Genomics, Health and Society, Health Psychology, Brain Stimulation, and Human Learning and Memory.
