Our Neuroscience with Artificial Intelligence degree combines the study of the brain with the power of AI. From exploring brain structure, behaviour, disease, and nervous system function to developing in-demand skills in programming, machine learning, data science, and algorithms, you’ll discover how AI is transforming neuroscience through complex data analysis, improved diagnosis, and ground breaking discoveries.

Neuroscience concepts are embedded throughout all levels of study, including neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and neuropathology. In your first year, you’ll also build a strong foundation in core computer science topics that underpin artificial intelligence, such as programming, computer systems, and algorithm design and analysis. Building on this foundation, you’ll study key areas of artificial intelligence and data science in modules taught by Computer Science experts. Topics include data science techniques, computational intelligence, and machine learning applications, equipping you with knowledge of current methods and emerging research. You’ll apply these skills across a range of fields, with a particular focus on neuroscience.

About Keele

Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university.

We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level.

Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.

Career focused courses, a vibrant student community and a beautiful 600-acre campus – this is Keele.

Whether you’re a passionate natural scientist, or eager to explore law, business, humanities or social sciences, our innovative courses are designed with your future in mind. Many of our courses offer a placement opportunity – just one of our initiatives that prepare you for real-world success.

Recognised for outstanding student experience and teaching quality, we were ranked a Top 10 UK university for student satisfaction across 15 subjects (National Student Survey 2025, broad-based English universities) and achieved Double Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (2017 and 2023).

Located in the Staffordshire countryside, but within easy reach of a bustling town, vibrant city and our noisy neighbours of Manchester and Birmingham, Keele truly offers the best of both worlds: a close-knit campus community and an exciting local area to explore.

We’d love to see you on campus soon.
