As an undergraduate neuroscientist at UCL, you will join one of the largest neuroscience research communities in the world – a community responsible for multiple Nobel Prize-winning discoveries that have shaped our understanding of the brain.
You will delve into the molecular and cellular mechanisms which allow neurons to compute information and communicate. You will explore how neurons form connections and circuits that give rise to complex behaviour and cognition. You will develop a multifaceted tool kit and build a cross-disciplinary understanding of the brain and nervous system.
You will benefit from practical lab experience and research-oriented teaching, interacting with leading researchers in the department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology and in our world-renowned partner institutions, such as the Francis Crick Institute, the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit and Sainsbury Wellcome Centre.
In Year 1, you will cover the foundations of molecular, cellular and system neuroscience, learn key scientific, analytical and computational techniques and study core subjects spanning the biosciences, from molecules to populations.
In Year 2, you will develop your understanding of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, pharmacology and molecular biology and conduct extensive lab experiments using cultured cells and tissue samples, while extending the range and depth of your computational and analytical skills. At the end of Year 2, you will choose whether to complete the three-year BSc, or transfer to the four-year integrated MSci course (dependent on good first and second-year results).
In Year 3, your final year project will give you the opportunity to put what you’ve learned into action by carrying out a research project exploring evolving topics at the cutting edge of neuroscience. Alongside this, you will get to choose from a wide range of optional modules allowing you to strengthen and augment your expertise across specialisms that complement our world-leading research.
Over the course of your studies you will explore how memories are formed, how brain cell activity shapes behaviour, how your senses perceive the world, how the brain controls movement, speech and language, as well as causes of and novel treatments for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia.
The Neuroscience degree courses at UCL are taught by academics with the research background, specialist expertise and academic excellence to provide you with the high-class training you require to become a great scientist in your own right.
