Course summary

Connecting the sciences of the brain (neurosciences) with the sciences of the mind (cognition), this MSc draws on our world-leading expertise in Psychology and Life Sciences. We consider how the brain and broader nervous system function at a biological and psychological level, from a human development and behavioural perspective. Why choose this course?

  • High staff-to-student ratio, small-group tutorials and a strong, inclusive research community
  • Research and practice-led teaching enables access to state-of-the-art facilities and world-leading expertise
  • Staff research includes EEG, eye tracking, vision, deafness, memory, cognitive control processes, behavioural and sensory neuroscience
  • Optional placement provides valuable work experience and cultivates supportive networks and references for future employment
Designed specifically to enable you to specialise in cognition and cognitive neuroscience, our MSc explores exciting challenges facing the scientific and clinical communities – how the brain and nervous system relate to human consciousness, decision making, attention, perception, memory, motor skills and more. On this programme, you will learn to design experiments, collect data using state-of-the-art cognitive neuroscience methods and analyse it using appropriate statistical methods. Explore the exciting challenges facing scientists in the fields of cognition and cognitive neuroscience. You will also become prepared for doctoral studies (for example, Clinical Psychology training or a PhD), and will be a competitive candidate for professional roles such as a data analyst or technical consultant.
