Data capture and analysis techniques to understand brain-behaviour relationships are continually emerging, creating a need for in-depth knowledge of neuroscience methods and their applications to understand brain function when healthy through cognitive neuroscience, and when disease strikes through clinical neuroscience.
The development of new strategies combined with the availability of large cognitve, neuroimaging and genetic data sets from healthy and clinical populations from different parts of the world have created a need for trained individuals to use these resources for scientific advancement and to improve human health. The Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience MSc has been designed to address this need.
On this course, students will develop a detailed understanding of the historical and contemporary concepts and theories underpinning the current understanding of human brain-behaviour, innovative neuroscience methods and their application to understand brain function, and the core cognitive and affective processes and associated neurology. Students will also be equipped with specialised analytical skills that will allow them to assess and interpret neuropsychological function in healthy and clinical populations, and will be able to report research evidence as a result.
Students will learn innovative neuroscience methods and gain hands-on experience with Brunel's fMRI and MRI scanners to study brain function in health and disease. Students will also have opportunities to interact with renowned local, national and international experts in the field through Brunel's research centre, the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN).
Dean’s International Scholarship: This course is eligible for a £2,000 fee waiver, per academic year, subject to availability. This Scholarship is for full-time international students only. Scholarship eligibility will be automatically considered and the scholarship will be awarded on a first come, first served basis.
