Taught
This programme provides an opportunity for intensive advanced training in cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. Staff involved in teaching and supervision include internationally recognised researchers and clinicians from our Human Cognitive Neuroscience Research Group. Staff expertise covers a range of topics including memory, visual perception, decision making, executive functions, social cognition and language, and staff use a variety of research methods to address their research interests in healthy and clinical populations.
You will take courses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of cognitive neuroscience, clinical neuropsychology and brain imaging, and conduct an original research dissertation in one of these areas. You will also receive thorough training in advanced academic skills and research methods within psychology, including a comprehensive coverage of statistical modelling and research design using the R statistical language.
The programme is primarily designed for students who aspire to pursue a research-oriented career in cognitive neuroscience or neuropsychology or to apply for higher-level clinical training. However, the course also teaches a broad range of transferable skills applicable to a wide range of modern jobs, such as research design, data management and processing, statistical modelling and interpretation, as well as the synthesis and communication of complex literature.
