Course description Train in the core aspects of contemporary neuroscience, from sensation and sensory processing, to understanding complex brain functions and artificial intelligence with opportunities to conduct independent research.
The biggest part of the course is your research project in cognitive neuroscience. Here you’ll work with one of our world-leading experts on a research topic ranging from theoretical to more applied cognitive or computational neuroscience. You could even have the opportunity to collect and analyse real-life cognitive brain science data, using state-of-the-art equipment.
This project will give you the chance to put your new techniques in computational neuroscience into practice, while exploring ideas at the cutting-edge of cognitive neuroscience, ready to present your findings at our summer postgraduate students' conference.
Whether your background stems from biology, engineering, physics, mathematics, psychology or medicine, if you have a passion for understanding the brain and behaviour, this interdisciplinary course is designed to ensure that you'll gain in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of neuroscience and research methods in cognitive neuroscience, ready for an exciting career in research or industry.
The University is home to the Neuroscience Institute, which brings together internationally-recognised expertise in medicine, science and engineering to improve the lives of patients and families affected by neurological, sensory and developmental disorders.
