Course summary

The MSc by Research in Integrative Neuroscience covers all levels of modern neuroscience, including molecular, cellular, systems, regenerative, behavioural, cognitive, clinical and computational neuroscience. This makes it the ideal programme to prepare you for a research career in neuroscience, and for pursuing a PhD. Our MSc includes:

  • A taught component from September to December, which includes lectures on many different areas of neuroscience, specialist electives, and generic skills training.
  • Two 12-week research projects between January and August (or one 24-week research project).
The hands-on research emphasis allows you to contribute to real-world projects, where you will have the opportunity to engage with researchers across the Edinburgh Neuroscience community. This comprises more than 150 world-leading Neuroscience groups covering interests spanning different levels of analysis from genes to cognition, across the life course, in health and disease. The MScR programme is a full-time, 12-month programme, beginning in September and ending in August the following year. You are expected to be on campus from the beginning of week one of Semester One. We recommend that you also attend Welcome Week, which is the week prior to week one of Semester One.
