Profile
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system and the human brain. This includes how the nervous system functions, both in healthy and diseased scenarios. The study of neuroscience looks to develop more effective treatment of illnesses.
Our undergraduate neuroscience degree explores behavioural neuroscience, including neuro-degenerative disease.
It looks at the pharmacology of neuroscience, including anaesthesia and analgesia. These are the drugs that control consciousness and perception of pain.
It’ll give you an understanding of how biomedical innovations are explored. You will see how they are developed from initial concept to their application.
You will learn key theories – from molecular level to full body systems – to understand the field as a whole.
Our course curriculum is shaped by the work of our world-leading researchers. This ensures that you’re learning the latest advances, as well as gaining an understanding of the fundamentals of the field.
This course also allows you to spend a year working in industry, for example, in a commercial laboratory. This allows you to gain real-world skills and improve your CV. It also presents you with the opportunity to network and build relationships. These are all things that could have a positive impact on your career upon graduating from university.
Your first two years will cover topics such as:
- genetics
- cell biology
- biological organisation
- molecular mechanisms and processes
You’ll develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments. This will prepare you for carrying out projects later in your course.
The year in industry will occur between levels 3 and 4.
