About this course

With our 4 year programme you'll stand out with masters level training in psychology and human neuroscience. Building on foundations of cognitive, clinical, developmental, social psychology and neuroscience during the first 3 years, the fourth year will use an immersive approach to human neuroscience to provide the key practical neuroimaging/neurostimulation skills to prepare you for a career in neuroscience research. The programme is built around our new Brain Research Imaging Centre (BRIC).

  • Four year integrated masters programme, build the foundations of a thorough knowledge of psychology through the first three years of our BSc course, but then extend it with an additional year of masters level study specialising in Human Neuroscience.

  • Benefit from integration with our new BRIC, offering state-of-the-art facilities for fMRI, EEG, and other neuroscience techniques.

  • Our hands-on approach to learning embeds practical activities throughout the programme, with neuroimaging advanced practice providing hands-on experience in the operation of specialized equipment.

  • Work with world-leading neuroimaging researchers and engage in an original neuroscience research topic of your own choosing.
