This 12-month course is designed to provide you with in-depth training in the core aspects of cognitive neuroscience and human neuroimaging, enabling you to generate and interpret neurobiological data in order to draw conclusions from healthy and unhealthy brains.

We'll also train you in neuroimaging and neurophysiological data collection and analysis techniques, allowing you to investigate and understand the brain-behaviour interrelationship.

Throughout your course, 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. Once you have mastered the techniques you need, you will have opportunities to apply these throughout your course to test hypotheses in areas including attention, executive functioning, Alzheimer’s disease, autism and ADHD.

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 theoretical to basic and to more applied cognitive 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.
