Course summary

The 1-year MSc (by research) degree, in either Psychology or Neuroscience, consists solely of an independent research project conducted over a 12-month period (or an equivalent period of part-time study), under the supervision of one or more members of the School’s academic staff, leading to a thesis of no more than 30,000 words. The goal of both the PhD and the MSc (by research) is to provide a training programme tailored to the needs of the individual. Training can be provided from tutorials with the supervisor and other members of staff, taught courses in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience or other, related, departments, University units (such as the Centre for Academic, Professional and Organisational Development), or external organisations. Participation in conferences, seminars and workshops, both internally and externally, is also encouraged. This course provides advanced training in integrative neuroscience research, allowing you to acquire the skills needed to succeed as an independent research scientist. You will conduct a year-long research project in a single laboratory while learning techniques and skills through coursework. You will have opportunities to pursue research interests in depth.
