Neuroscience

University of Central Lancashire

Explore the most complex organ in the body - the nervous system. You’ll learn how the brain and nervous system work to alter behaviour, perception, mood and memory from a cognitive and physiological psychology perspective. Neuroscience is literally the ‘science of the brain.’ Studying such a complex organ – along with the nervous system it controls – requires the insights you can only gain from a multidisciplinary approach. Our degree is one of the few that offers you a multidisciplinary approach to cover areas of biological science alongside core areas of psychology. You’ll learn to understand the cause and treatment for a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders and diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and depression. During the first two years you’ll acquire the background knowledge that will prepare you for a future career in neuroscience and related areas. Then in your final year you’ll be given the opportunity to specialise in core areas.
