MSc
Summary
Start your journey into the fascinating realms of cognitive and computational neuroscience and gain profound insights into groundbreaking theories and hands-on experience with cutting-edge neuroimaging and data science techniques.
The course provides opportunities to be part of the forefront of neuroscientific research at the Centre for Human Brain Health (CHBH). CHBH research specialisms include basic and applied cognitive neuroscience and human brain health across lifespan.
The course content also reflects the increasing importance of machine learning, robotics and computational approaches in the field of neuroscience by offering two pathways: Cognitive Neuroscience and Computational Neuroscience. These pathways also allow you to tailor your studies to your personal interests and background.
| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | 2:1 Honours degree in a relevant subject (eg, Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering or Mathematics). Regarding the Cognitive Neuroscience pathway, applicants should have gained at least a 2:1 (or equivalent) in the research dissertation (i.e. experience of planning and conducting research and analysing data). Applicants who do not meet our requirement for a 2:1 in their final-year research project, but who have gained significant research experience in a cognitive neuroscience research lab(s) will be considered on a case-by-case basis. With respect to the Computational Neuroscience pathway, you must have a strong interest in learning in an interdisciplinary environment and must have substantial quantitative skills. Programming skills in Python, Matlab, Java, and/or C are desirable. |

Summary
The Cognitive Neuroimaging and Data Science MSc helps to provide fundamental insight into important theories in cognitive and computational neuroscience, and hands on experience in methods of neuroimaging and data science techniques.
To understand the brain and performance, there is need to merge the traditional, hypothesis-based experiments with unbiased, large-scale machine learning approaches to study the dynamic interactions between brain regions and its relations to behaviour.
This MSc offers advanced learning in two different pathways 1) Cognitive Neuroscience and 2) Computational Neuroscience.
For your studies and research, you will have access to various neuroimaging tools (for example, MRI, MEG, EEG, brain stimulation and fNIRS) housed in the Centre for Human Brain Health. You will develop important skills associated with proactive problem solving and analysing big (neuroscientific) data. You will have the opportunity to interact with a broad range of researchers (from the Centre for Human Brain Health, School of Psychology and Computer Science) who will help you develop specific interests and skills within cognitive neuroimaging and data science.
