You’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and academics in the School of Life Sciences. Our teaching will inspire you, with topics including:<br/><br/><br/>- molecular and cellular neurobiology<br/><br/><br/>- development and genetics<br/><br/><br/>- neurophysiology<br/><br/><br/>- behaviour<br/><br/><br/>- brain disorders.<br/><br/><br/>From Year 1 you’ll be in the lab, gaining practical hands-on experience.

You’ll spend a semester working on an individual research project in one of our Neuroscience research teams. In this year, you’ll develop advanced skills in technical, analytical and scientific communication skills.<br/><br/>**MSci or BSc?**<br/><br/>We also offer this course as a three-year BSc.<br/><br/>**About Sussex**<br/><br/>Sussex graduates change the world.
