This unique interdisciplinary course combines aspects of psychology, mathematics and computer science. It uses computational models and artificial intelligence to further the understanding of the brain.
You will learn how:
- the brain is believed to work on the cellular, network and systems level
- to develop mathematical models of brain function and use them in simulations
- cognitive phenomena relate to brain activity
- current AI algorithms are based on neuroscience findings
- a range of experimental approaches are used to measure and analyse brain function.
- memories are stored and organised in the brain
- networks of neurons perform computations
- visual illusions find their origins in neural circuits.

Admission Requirements
2:1 (or international equivalent). For quantitatively minded students with a background in psychology, neuroscience, or biosciences as well as those with training in physics, engineering, mathematics, or computer science; no specific biology or psychology knowledge required.
This course requires strong mathematical and programming skills. In their final two years of study, applicants must have achieved a 2.1 (60%) in 2 module(s) covering at least two of the following subjects: mathematics, statistics, physics, data analysis, computer science. If such skills were gained independently, evidence should be provided.
In exceptional cases a 2:2 degree (or international equivalent) may be considered provided the applicant has at least one year of relevant work experience or another supporting factor.
