Computational Neuroscience

Overview With the rise of big data analytics in the healthcare sector, there is an increasing demand for scientists with expertise in data mining and interpretation that can be used to inform clinical decisions. This master's course is designed to provide you with these skills, enhancing your career prospects as a computational neuroscientist, working in healthcare sector or in the field of medical research.

Why study MSc/PGDip Computational Neuroscience at Middlesex University? This degree will give you a theoretical and practical understanding of computational neuroscience. You'll gain an advanced knowledge of neurones and their organisation into functional circuits that process information and control behaviour.

You'll develop your skills in recording, securely storing, analysing and visualising neural data to aid diagnosis and to determine the best treatment options or to answer a research question. Additionally, you'll gain hands-on experience in the use of programming methods used in computational neuroscience.

In our partnership with Saracens Rugby Club, you’ll have access to the fantastic resources at StoneX Stadium, including the brand new £23 million redevelopment project of the West Stand which offers state-of-the-art facilities as a top educational and high performance centre for teaching and research excellence. With some of the most advanced equipment in the UK, you will be able to utilise the new specialist spaces, simulation suites, specialist labs, plus much more.

This master's course is ideal to those who want to analyse big data which informs clinical decisions or to investigate medical research questions.
