Course summary

Combine the fascinating complexity of neuroscience with the exciting field of data science to gain new insight into how the brain controls our body. From discovering statistical patterns in large datasets that can contribute to the discovery of cures for illnesses such as Alzheimer's, to creating better simulations of the brain for training neurology students - our Data Science and Neuroscience BSc will equip you with the analytical, problem-solving and computational skills to advance health in a variety of careers. Why choose this course?

  • Put your learning into practice using real-world data in our state-of-the-art £34m Central Science Laboratories (CSL)
  • Gain practical experience of human neural anatomy in Keele Medical School's Anatomy Suite
  • All necessary knowledge in mathematics, statistics and coding is provided within relevant modules
  • This programme is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology for students who specialise in Neuroscience in their final year
  • Engage with our partners in industry to tackle real-world problems
Initial modules will provide you with a grounding in the theoretical underpinnings of both disciplines. In Data Science you will explore the fundamental concepts underlying computer programming together with techniques for applying these using a contemporary programming language. You will look at data science and its relationship with business analytics, statistics, machine learning and artificial intelligence and examine the processes techniques used to extract information from raw data. In Neuroscience you will explore a mixture of core modules that will provide you with an understanding of the basic biological techniques in addition to an introduction to the core concepts of neuroscience and the practical skills required for a career within the field. During your first and second year, you will take laboratory classes most weeks to develop practical, analytical, observational and interpretative skills. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third years. From Artificial Intelligence (AI), data visualisation and deep learning to how the brain develops, the mechanisms underlying learning and memory and what can go wrong in terms of brain injury - you will develop the advanced knowledge and skills to carry out your own independent studies. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university. We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level. Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
