Course summary

Combine skills in science, computing and research to explore the fascinating complexity of the human brain and contribute to the creation of technologies that can help people living with neurological disorders. From face tracking software used to diagnose neurological pathologies to virtual environments to treat phobias, the endless applications of computer science and neuroscience will prepare you to enter a variety of rewarding careers. Why choose this course?

  • Top 20 in the UK for Neuroscience (Guardian University League Table, 2021)
  • Use a wide variety of industry-standard equipment including supercomputer facilities, a VR lab and a Maker Space
  • This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for students who specialise in Neuroscience in their final year
  • Develop core practical skills in Keele's state-of-the-art Central Science Laboratories (CSL)
Initial modules are designed to bring everyone up to speed, regardless of their starting level. In computer science you will learn the key themes that underpin the discipline such as programming best practices and the use of the latest tools and technology. In neuroscience you will gain a solid grounding in basic biological techniques, the core concepts of neuroscience and the practical skills required for a career within the field. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third year of study. Modules may include; programming concepts that can be applied in areas such as games programming, mobile app and web development, artificial intelligence and cyber security and how the brain develops and how drugs affect the nervous system. The programme will culminate with the opportunity to unleash your creativity and apply the techniques you have acquired throughout your studies by completing a final year project.
