You will develop an advanced understanding of neuroscience and cognitive science, exploring how mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, network and systems levels influence normal brain function and disease. Through a flexible, individualised curriculum delivered across London and Paris, you will tailor your studies to your own academic and research interests while gaining practical experience through laboratory-based projects.


The course develops key research skills, including experimental design, critical evaluation of scientific literature, data analysis, scientific communication and interdisciplinary problem-solving. With opportunities to define your own research pathway and gain substantial international research experience, the course provides excellent preparation for doctoral study and careers in brain and mind sciences. You will graduate with an MSc from UCL at the end of Year 1 and an international Master’s-level diploma from Sorbonne University and École Normale Supérieure on completion of Year 2.
