Neuroscience with a Modern Language (4 years)

Our BSc Neuroscience with a Modern Language course will enable you to develop your language skills while studying how the brain and nervous system work to generate behaviour, perception, movement, sleep, memory and other key functions.

The course also covers new technological advances that have been at the forefront of recent breakthroughs in the field of neuroscience, including biomedical imaging, genetic manipulation and functional recording at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels.

There have also been major advances in our understanding of the biology of higher brain function and the pathogenesis of a variety of neurological disorders, such as mental health disorders and neurodegenerative disease eg Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

You will study a range of topics during the course, including pharmacology, physiology, motor systems sensory systems and more, with the opportunity to choose optional units in particular areas of interest.

We offer French, German, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Mandarin for the language component of the course, which includes a year abroad on a research placement.

Our course has Advanced Accreditation from the Royal Society of Biology , which recognises academic excellence in the biosciences and highlights degrees that educate the research and development leaders and innovators of the future.
