Course Description
With our 4 year programme you'll stand out with masters level training in psychology and human neuroscience. Building on foundations of cognitive, clinical, developmental, social psychology and neuroscience during the first 3 years, the fourth year will use an immersive approach to human neuroscience to provide the key practical neuroimaging/neurostimulation skills to prepare you for a career in neuroscience research. The programme is built around our new Brain Research Imaging Centre (BRIC).
BRIC will enable you to gain technical experience of a range of neuroscience techniques, including fMRI, EEG, and TMS. These will familiarise you with essential aspects of the neuroscientific process with experiment design and operational technique, data analysis and manipulation, through to dissemination of original findings. Electives allow you to tailor your experience to future careers, allowing specialisation in the physics of neuroimaging and current issues in cognitive and brain science.
- Four year integrated masters programme, build the foundations of a thorough knowledge of psychology through the first three years of our BSc course, but then extend it with an additional year of masters level study specialising in Human Neuroscience.
