Degree Overview

Our neuroscience degree explores behavioural neuroscience, including neuro-degenerative disease. It looks at the pharmacology of neuroscience, including anaesthesia and analgesia, the drugs that control consciousness and perception of pain.

These will give you an understanding of how biomedical innovations are explored and developed from initial concept to their application.

You will learn key theories – from molecular level to full body systems – to understand the field as a whole.

Your first two years will cover genetics, cell biology, biological organisation, molecular mechanisms and processes.

You’ll develop practical skills, including laboratory skills, data analysis, and how to design and run experiments. This will prepare you for carrying out projects later on in your course.

You can pick modules that interest you and also transfer to a different life sciences degree if you choose the relevant modules.
