Course summary

94% of our research overall in Biological Sciences was assessed to be world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021) About the course From curing degenerative diseases, to inventing the next generation of AI, there’s so much yet to discover in the field of neuroscience. At Sussex, you’ll explore the latest discoveries about the brain and nervous system. 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:

  • molecular and cellular neurobiology
  • development and genetics
  • neurophysiology
  • behaviour
  • brain disorders.
From Year 1 you’ll be in the lab, gaining practical hands-on experience. You’ll carry out interactive neuroscience experiments and take part in workshops. You’ll also develop computing, programming, data analysis and communication skills. Sussex was the first university in the UK to offer a degree in neurobiology. Building on that ground-breaking step, the wider Sussex Neuroscience community now represents over 50 different research groups. They work across a broad spectrum of specialisms, from vision and consciousness, to AI and behaviour. When you graduate, you’ll have the data-handling and analytical skills for a wide range of science and science-related careers. This could include:
  • the biotechnology industry
  • the NHS and healthcare
  • academic research
  • science writing or publishing
  • science engagement.
And in addition, in your integrated Masters year, you gain a strong theoretical and practical foundation for a career in – or related to – research. 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. MSci or BSc? We also offer this course as a three-year BSc.
