Course summary
Overview
Help advance understanding of the nervous system by training in cutting-edge neuroscience techniques.
Our research seeks to understand how the nervous system, the most complex and highly organised part of the body, is able to generate perception, thoughts and behaviour. We then apply this understanding to seek solutions to real-world problems such as promoting healthy ageing, stroke recovery and spinal cord injury repair.
To address such neuroscientific problems, this one year MRes will enable you to spend most of your time in an active laboratory, learning and applying cutting-edge techniques. Take a moment to look at the areas below and consider which research team you could contribute to.
- Neuroengineering
- Molecular neuroscience
- Neurodegeneration
- Neural circuits
- Neurotrauma and repair
- Neuro-biotechnology.
Career opportunities
There’s an increasing demand for people skilled in the knowledge of biological sciences applied to healthcare, in the form of biological and medical technology. Knowledge of use of large data, its collection and analysis is critical. This is leading to an innovative and disruptive technological development for improved diagnostic and therapeutic tools for mental health, mobility and common dysfunctions like pain.
Upon completion of this programme you’ll be well-placed to undertake a PhD in this field or as a junior research assistant if working in an academic, start-up or industrial environment.
There are career opportunities in neurotechnology, neuroscience and electroceuticals worldwide with industries and start-ups like GSK and BIOS Health. With the growth in healthcare industries locally in Leeds and Yorkshire, in the UK and internationally there’ an increase in demand for skills like data analytics, imaging, neuropathology and healthcare app development.
