Knowledge of neuroscience is essential to providing human kind with solutions to a range of complex challenges, including those in health and wellbeing.On this course, you will be equipped with an integrated knowledge of the human body, brain and nervous system. You’ll study a number of topics including neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s), synaptic plasticity and psychopharmacology.Here, you will be part of an investigative-based, inspirational and engaging learning experience. Informed by the research undertaken at the University of Leeds, this programme is delivered by world leading researchers.Develop key skills and attributes required by Neuroscience graduates and discover the cutting edge experimental techniques used to investigate the workings of the nervous system.Our focus will be on making you workplace ready, capable of showcasing your knowledge and skills to potential employers. You will undertake a capstone or culminating research project bringing together the knowledge, skills and attributes developed throughout your degree.This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training. You will study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project within one of the major research laboratories in the School of Biomedical Sciences or an appropriate period of work based practice. You may also choose to apply for our 3 year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance and availability. 


Course highlights:

- Designed to provide a broad scientific foundation and key graduate skills for those interested in neuroscience.- Explore cutting edge topics and techniques in neuroscience delivered by our world-leading researchers.- Delivered using inspirational, engaging and inclusive approaches.- Develop experimental skills in specialised laboratories. Use cutting edge instrumentation such as the Titan Krios electron microscopes and gain hands on practical experience in labs.- Progress from single neuronal recordings in invertebrate brains to measuring activity in whole human brains.- The opportunity to undertake an independent capstone research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing the key skills and attributes that will set you apart in the graduate job market.
