Neuroscience is concerned with investigations of the central and peripheral nervous system. Our specialist degree prepares you for a rewarding research career in human neurosciences, investigating pathological conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy. The research conducted by medical physiologists informs healthcare scientists in the diagnosis and treatment of the full spectrum of neurological conditions. You will graduate from our degree armed with expert knowledge of normal and abnormal physiology and the skills to carry out a range of investigative techniques in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of human disease.

On graduation, you can either continue your studies at postgraduate level by taking a diploma, masters or PhD or seek employment in a variety of careers. A graduate can undertake further studies for a career in the NHS as a clinical physiologist, healthcare scientist, physiotherapist, nurse or medical doctor. Fast-track training programmes are available for many NHS professions. A career in education at a school, college or university is also an option. Other science related careers include research and development industry or academia, science communication journalism or publishing, and scientific sales and marketing in particular diagnostic equipment.
