Neuroscience is the study of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system in terms of its normal function and dysfunction associated with central nervous system disorders. As such, neuroscience encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including behaviour, genetics, and cellular and molecular biology, as well as physiology.

You will graduate with a broad understanding of neuroscience and will have undertaken a research project investigating a particular topic in depth; you will have a wide range of transferable skills in presentation, communication, IT, analysis and presentation of data, and independent study.
