Richard Jardine, Programme Officer, explains what is required from prospective students and the various career prospects for those taking the MSc and MRes in Cognitive Neuroscience. Future pathways vary greatly with many going into marketing, teaching, consultancy and clinical psychology. However, a great proportion of postgraduates continue into further research. Applicants must demonstrate why they are particularly interested in studying cognitive neuroscience and why they particularly hope to study it at UCL.
