This 12-month course will give you in-depth training in core aspects of contemporary neuroscience, from sensation and sensory processing, to understanding complex brain functions and artificial intelligence. You'll be prepared for an exciting career in research, healthcare, industry, or a PhD.

Throughout your course, our neuroscientists will introduce you to the core problems in computational and cognitive neuroscience, adaptive behaviour, and artificial neural networks.

We'll teach you the core techniques in experimental cognitive psychology, including computational modelling, data analysis, and cutting-edge neuroimaging, and give you opportunities to apply these techniques.

Over six months, you'll work on your research project in cognitive neuroscience with one of our world-leading experts. Your research topic could range from basic to theoretical neuroscience. You may have the opportunity to collect and analyse real-life cognitive brain science data, using state-of-the-art equipment, before presenting your findings at our summer postgraduate students' conference.

This project gives you the opportunity to put your new techniques in experimental neuroscience into practice, while exploring ideas at the cutting-edge of cognitive neuroscience. MSc research projects often form the basis of publications in peer-reviewed journals.
