MSci Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology
This course is specifically tailored to students interested in pursuing a career in research, either in academic or in industry.
Our MSci Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology course combines major topics in cognitive neuroscience and psychology to offer a broad grounding in this exciting field of behavioural science.
In contrast to the three-year BSc, this four-year MSci features a number of master's level units in third year (including coverage of Open Science principles and programming using the open-source statistical software package, R).
In the fourth year you will focus on a research project, during which you will be fully immersed in a research environment.
The psychology component of the MSci covers topics such as:
how humans and animals think (cognitive processes);
how the world is sensed (perception);
comparative and developmental studies;
abnormal psychology.
The neuroscience component of the course covers topics such as:
animal behaviour;
learning and memory;
the action of drugs on the nervous system;
how humans and animals sense and respond to their environment.
The MSci degree is accredited by the British Psychological Society (BPS), which means as well as providing a solid foundation for a career in biological sciences, it constitutes your first step towards professional chartered psychologist status.
