Faculty:School of Biosciences
Degree:Bachelor
Field of Study:Neuroscience
Length:3 Year(s)

Description:

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, from the molecular processes taking place in nerve cells to the functioning of the mind. The human brain contains one hundred billion cells, and how it works remains one of the most intriguing of all scientific questions. Can the brain understand the brain? Can the brain understand the mind? Is the brain a giant computer or something more?

On our Neuroscience programme, you will explore these questions, using approaches that range from the biochemistry and physiology of the nerve cells to a psychologist’s investigation of the machinery of the mind. This programme offers a high degree of flexibility, offering you the freedom to shape your academic experience. You can choose to specialise in a particular area or to maintain a wide breadth of learning and explore the interdisciplinary research that underpins much of the School’s success.
