BSc Biological Sciences (Neuroscience)
Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of neuroscience, from the molecular and cellular foundations of the nervous system to complex functions like learning, memory, and behaviour. You will develop a deep understanding of how the brain works and how this knowledge is applied to treat neurological diseases and disorders. The flexible, modular structure allows you to tailor your studies to your specific interests while gaining valuable transferable skills.
Key Program Highlights
- Gain a multidisciplinary understanding of the nervous system, from ions and cells to entire systems
- Learn how neuroscience principles are applied to develop interventions for disease and disorders
- Work alongside leading researchers on key issues in modern neuroscience
- Flexible, modular course structure to tailor your degree to your interests
- Develop highly valued transferable skills for a wide range of future careers
