Learn how to collect and interpret neuroimaging data to draw conclusions from healthy and unhealthy brains. All whilst developing skills in cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiological data collection and analysis techniques.

Kickstart your training in cognitive neuroscience and human neuroimaging and learn how to generate and interpret neurobiological data to draw conclusions from healthy and unhealthy brains.

Our neuroscientists will introduce you to key investigative techniques which may include functional and structural MRI, EEG, neuropsychology, transcranial magnetic stimulation, and transcranial direct current stimulation. We'll also train you in neuroimaging and neurophysiological data collection and analysis techniques. 

Throughout your course, you’ll get opportunities to apply these to investigate and understand the brain-behaviour interrelationship, testing hypotheses in areas including attention, executive functioning, Alzheimer’s disease, autism and ADHD.

The biggest part of the course is your research project in cognitive neuroscience. Here you’ll work with one of our world-leading experts on a research topic ranging from basic to more applied cognitive neuroscience. You could even have the opportunity to collect and analyse real-life cognitive brain science data, using state-of-the-art equipment. 

This project will give you the chance to put your new skills and research techniques in experimental and cognitive neuroscience into practice, while exploring ideas at the cutting-edge of the field, ready to present your findings at our summer postgraduate students' conference.

Whether your background stems from biology, engineering, physics, mathematics, psychology or medicine, if you have a passion for understanding the brain and behaviour, this interdisciplinary course is designed to ensure that you'll gain in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of neuroscience and research methods in cognitive neuroscience, ready for an exciting career in research or industry.

The University is home to the Neuroscience Institute which brings together internationally-recognised expertise in medicine, science and engineering to improve the lives of patients and families affected by neurological, sensory and developmental disorders.
