Neuroscience with Industrial/Professional Experience (4 years)

Our BSc Neuroscience with Industrial/Professional Experience course will enable you to gain experience of the workplace on a year-long placement during your degree, making you more attractive to potential employers after graduation.

You will examine how the brain and nervous system work to generate behaviour, perception, movement, sleep, memory and other key functions.

The course covers a range of topics, including biology, pharmacology, physiology, motor systems, sensory systems and more, with the opportunity to choose optional units in particular areas of interest.

You will spend your first year studying fundamental principles before going on to specialise in your second and final years.

In Year 3, you will have the opportunity to go on a placement with one of our `trusted partner' organisations in the UK or abroad. Alternatively, you can choose to arrange your own placement (subject to approval from the School of Biological Sciences).

Placements range from research project work to roles in education, the biotechnology industry and science communication.

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.
