BSc (Hons) in Medical Neuroscience

Epilepsy, strokes and schizophrenia – what causes these conditions, and what can we do to prevent or alleviate them?

In this course, you’ll study the structure and function of the human brain and nervous system. You’ll learn to apply this knowledge to understand and treat neurological disorders. In seminar sessions and hands-on lab work, you’ll be trained in modern experimental techniques. You’ll also gain computing, programming, data analysis and communication skills. You’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and scientists in the School of Life Sciences. Our experts specialise in areas ranging from medicine and neuroanatomy to genes and development. Our research underpins your teaching.
