Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience MSc

About

Why choose Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience MSc at Middlesex?

This versatile master's degree focuses on the advanced study of neuroscience and understanding the brain in both health and disease. It combines cognitive and clinical approaches to neuroscience to build your understanding of human cognition and explores the underlying mechanisms associated with disease and disorders of the nervous system.

A uniquely interdisciplinary course taught by internationally recognised academics from both the Psychology and Biomedical Sciences departments. These include Nicky Brunswick, whose book Dyslexia: A Beginner's Guide, has been published internationally, and Alex Jones and Jon Silas, who've recently received grants from international funding bodies. Many of our staff have been published in international journals.

This postgraduate degree is ideal if you're looking to extend your research interests to doctoral level or apply neuroscience in clinical and research settings.

What you will gain

You will learn about current issues in cognitive and clinical neuroscience and develop your ability to use neuroscientific methods in both research and clinical environments.

You will also acquire practical skills in neuroscientific data collection and analysis, experimental design, and clinical and statistical analysis of data. These skills will be invaluable in your future career, whether you choose to pursue research or clinical work.
