Translational Neuroscience MSc

This course gives you the opportunity to explore the latest advances in neuroscience and their impact on patients. It includes extensive laboratory training so you can help tackle major healthcare challenges including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's and motor neurone disease.You will cover a range of topics, from fundamental neurobiology and molecular biology, and the structure and function of the human brain, to how this knowledge is used to develop new therapies for nervous system diseases and put into practice by clinicians.The course is led by leading experts in both basic and clinical science and puts a significant emphasis on the development of practical skills that scientists use to understand neurological diseases, such as microscopy, neuroimaging and molecular pathology. The biggest part will be your research project where you will work as part of a team of professional scientists to test a specific scientific hypothesis.
