Course summary
The Human Neuroscience BSc is a three-year programme that has been designed to enable students to learn about the human brain and nervous system in health and disease. You will learn about how the human brain enables us to perceive the world, how we move, our mental health, how we communicate and how we interact with each other. On this programme you will study the human brain through understanding what happens when things go wrong, e.g., disorders of the nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease, dementia, aphasia, depression, and schizophrenia. In addition, you will learn about the different methods and techniques that have been developed to help us study the human brain, e.g. fMRI, EEG and MEG. The Human Neuroscience BSc will give you hands-on experience of analysing data gathered from neuroimaging of the human brain, enabling you to understand broader elements of the brain and nervous system. In the final year of your degree, you will have the opportunity to undertake your own research project in the field of human neuroscience, as well as a research placement. In your third year of study, you will also be able to select optional modules looking at specialised areas and applications of human neuroscience in broader areas such as human health, genes and environment interactions. To support your future employability, there are also opportunities to learn about different careers that are related to neuroscience.
