Description:

Our Neuroscience degree with Preliminary Year is a four-year course. The Preliminary Year covers key topics in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics and leads to a BSc in any of the subjects offered by the School of Biosciences. The preliminary year is designed for students who don’t have a sufficient background in science, and it will provide you with the knowledge and understanding needed to thrive in the year one curriculum and beyond.

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?
