Course Summary

Our brain and its workings define who we are. Neuroscience is discovering how the nervous system functions in health and disease from the molecular to the behavioural level. It is a vibrant area of science with regular exciting new breakthroughs, but there is still much to be discovered. Ranked ninth in the 2023 QS Rankings for Life and Medical Sciences, UCL is one of the leading neuroscience institutions in Europe. Students will benefit greatly from the vast reservoir of expertise available. The programme is designed to give students a broad overview and experience of contemporary neuroscience research: from the intricate workings of an ion channel to the wonder of how all the cellular machinery results in the higher brain functions that make us who we are. The modules are devised for students who want to build on a basic understanding of neuroscience, most often from a broader biological background or those that have a high-level insight from psychology and cognitive science but also attracts those from diverse backgrounds: from physics to philosophy. A large, challenging project will give you the experience of being embedded in and contributing to an active research laboratory and enable the development of many skills: project planning, data analysis, computer literacy, technical writing, presentation, critical appraisal and time management.
