Neuroscience Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

Neuroscience explores one of the most complex systems in the body: the nervous system. Neuroscientists aim to understand how the brain works and how nerves interact to control thought, movement and behaviour.

In this degree programme, you will study how the nervous system is structured and how it develops, functions, malfunctions and can be manipulated. You will also explore how neuroscience research can lead to new ways of repairing, protecting and enhancing brain function.

By deepening our understanding of the brain, neuroscientists are helping to advance treatments for conditions such as:

* stroke

* neurodegenerative diseases

* mental illness

* cancer

* neurotoxicity and trauma

This degree combines scientific discovery with real-world impact, preparing you to contribute to one of the most exciting and rapidly developing fields in modern science.

Our Neuroscience degree is part of our suite of Biomedical Sciences degrees. In all programmes, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of biomedical sciences in Years 1 and 2 and then choose from a suite of more specialist courses in Year 3.

The flexibility of our programmes means that you can also change your specialism at the end of Year 3. Specialisms you can choose from include:

* anatomy and development

* biomedical sciences

* reproductive biology

* pharmacology

* infectious diseases

Programme benefits

* Join an interdisciplinary programme that equips you with the knowledge, skills and development essential for globally competitive graduates in our key disciplines.


* Benefit from the opportunity to undertake projects with our leading biomedical researchers, addressing major global biomedical challenges.


* In Year 3, enjoy the option to study abroad at one of our partner universities.
