Summary
Our MRes Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology course will prepare you for a successful research career in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology.
You will undertake a year-long research project, supported by taught units for comprehensive research skills training.
The major advantage of this course is that you will put the acquired research skills into practice by working with experts in the field for the entire year.
Through the taught units, you will receive a strong grounding in the theoretical understanding and practical experience of key research paradigms, research designs and statistical techniques used in experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuropsychology.
You will also develop transferable skills training for careers outside academia, including data science skills, science communication, and patient, public and business engagement.
