Our programme
Our programme is full-time for twelve months, beginning in September and ending in August the following year. Successful MSc and Diploma candidates graduate in November/December.
Semester 1 provides a taught component in the first 12 weeks. Themed weeks allow students to learn from researchers from a wide range of neuroscience areas, and a choice of four elective courses offers the opportunity to focus your learning to one specialism. You'll also choose from a range of projects offered (or propose your own project) to begin in Semester 2.
In Semester 2, you can choose to do either two 12-week projects or one long 24-week project.
Semester 1 - Taught
The first semester is the 'taught' component comprising lectures on many different areas of neuroscience, specialist electives, and generic skills training.
Semester 2 – Research Project(s)
At the end of semester 1 you'll arrange your first 12-week project, to run from January – April.
