MSc Cognitive Neuroscience and Human Neuroimaging

Gain in-depth training in core aspects of cognitive neuroscience and human neuroimaging, enabling you to generate and interpret neurobiological data in order to draw conclusions from healthy and unhealthy brains. You'll develop skills in neuroimaging, neurophysiological data collection and analysis techniques, and practical neuroanatomy.
This 12-month course is designed to provide you with in-depth training in the core aspects of cognitive neuroscience and human neuroimaging, enabling you to generate and interpret neurobiological data in order to draw conclusions from healthy and unhealthy brains.

We will also train you in neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, neurophysiological data collection, and analysis techniques, allowing you to investigate and understand the brain-behaviour interrelationship.

Throughout your course, our neuroscientists will introduce you to key investigative techniques which may include functional and structural MRI, EEG, neuropsychology, transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation. Once you have mastered the techniques you need, you will have opportunities to apply these throughout your course to test hypotheses in areas including attention, executive functioning, Alzheimer's disease, autism and ADHD.

Your career
With the valuable skills and knowledge that youll develop throughout your research training, including computational modelling, imaging, and analysis expertise, youll be well equipped for careers including:
analysis and visualisation of data within hospitals, other healthcare providers or the pharmaceutical industry
roles within deep learning, machine learning or artificial intelligence
pursuing a career in research, understanding major diseases like stroke, Alzheimer's, Parkinsons and epilepsy within academia or governmental organisations.

Minimum 2:1 undergraduate honours degree in either a life science (including psychology) or a mathematical/physical science (including engineering).
We also accept medical students who wish to intercalate their studies.
