Through the use of state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience research techniques, students will study the structure and function of the brain, examine the cognitive neuroscience of health and disease and learn the latest research techniques and methodologies to understand how brain structure and function underlies cognitive functions.
Hands-on research experience will be a key part of students' studies. In the University of Roehampton's state-of-the-art research facilities, students will use many of the most important research tools used in contemporary cognitive neuroscience, including MRI, EEG, eye-tracking, brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS), cognitive testing and both standard and computational data analysis.

This programme will give students an understanding of the relationship between complex cognitive functions and their underlying brain mechanisms, in both patients and healthy individuals, as well as an in-depth knowledge of cognitive neuroscience research techniques and methodologies.
Students will study a diverse range of topics. This includes the structure and function of the brain and how to interpret research findings from neuroimaging and brain damage studies. Students will understand the neural mechanisms of healthy brain functioning, decision-making, emotion, attention, memory and visual processing, as well as gaps in the current knowledge in these areas. Students will learn how abnormal brain functioning can contribute to psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and drug use and addiction, as well as how cognitive neuroscience techniques can contribute to their treatment.
Communication skills in cognitive neuroscience will teach students key attributes to aid them in their career post-graduation, including how to construct research manuscripts and deliver effective presentations. Research methods and statistics are embedded in all modules, so students will be able to apply these skills in varying contexts. Through the dissertation project, students will make their own independent contribution to an original piece of research and will develop the skills and expertise required to graduate successfully into the rapidly changing field of cognitive neuroscience.
The programme is delivered through taught lectures, methods workshops, seminars, discussion forums and online lectures, and is designed to give students the maximum flexibility to fit the programme around their other commitments.

The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) was first published in June 2003 by the Center for World-Class Universities (CWCU), Graduate School of Education (formerly the Institute of Higher Education) of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and updated on an annual basis
The "Webometrics Ranking of World Universities" is an initiative of the Cybermetrics Lab, a research group belonging to the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), the largest public research body in Spain. CSIC is among the first basic research organizations in Europe. The CSIC consisted in 2006 of 126 centers and institutes distributed throughout Spain.
