This cutting-edge MSc Clinical Neuroscience offers an exciting opportunity to study modern neuroscience with a focus on clinical implications.
On this programme, students will gain a strong foundation in understanding the mechanisms and treatments of neurological and neuropsychiatric diseases.
This programme is designed for students from a range of backgrounds, who are interested in pursuing a career in neuroscience. Students will develop a detailed understanding of modern theory and concepts relating to brain research and neuroscience and the application of these principles in the treatment of brain disorders. This course places emphasis on the clinical relevance of recent developments in neuroscience.
The development of research methods skills is an integral part of the course. Students will further their understanding of applied neuroscience with a research project which will develop their data handling and analysis skills, use of applied theory and statistics.
Students will be introduced to a diverse range of topics and will have the chance to focus on areas that interest them. Examples of topics that students might cover include: clinical relevance of recent developments in neuroscience, brain imaging techniques and their applications in neurology and psychiatry, neurobiological mechanisms of human brain disorders, effects of nutrition and addiction on brain function, and research methods. Students will also discuss ethical issues in clinical neuroscience and develop their ability to critically evaluate current developments in clinical brain research, which are relevant to healthcare.
Students will work with academics who are currently investigating a range of topical issues such as the addictive nature of new psychoactive substances, effects of stress on the brain regulatory systems and the mechanisms of brain cell death and repair using neural stem cells. Students will also be welcome to attend additional research seminars and discussions on topical developments in neuroscience and health sciences, led by experts.
MSc Clinical Neuroscience is recognised by the Federation of Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and included in the Network of European Neuroscience Schools (NENS), which is the highest accolade in European neuroscience teaching.
This programme can accommodate students from a range of backgrounds including new graduates from life sciences or psychology as well as health professionals who hold non-traditional qualifications. It is also suitable for applicants from the NHS, for example neuro-nurses or therapists.
