About

Course overview

Start your journey into the fascinating realms of cognitive and computational neuroscience. You’ll gain profound insights into groundbreaking theories and get hands-on experience with cutting-edge neuroimaging and data science techniques.

You'll gain hands-on experience with advanced neuroimaging tools (MRI, MEG, EEG, brain stimulation, fNIRS) at the Centre for Human Brain Health. Develop crucial skills in problem-solving and data analysis. This includes collaboration with top researchers from the School of Psychology, and Computer Science to hone your expertise in cognitive neuroimaging and data science. Choose from two pathways: Cognitive Neuroscience and Computational Neuroscience.

Course Structure

This course will run over 12 months in a full-time-mode. There is also scope to undertake the programme on a part-time basis. While the exact content may change, in the first term you will typically complete the compulsory modules while in the second you will be able to choose from a range of optional modules. This is based on a full time Masters course. For part-time students we will devise a study plan in the first weeks tailoring your studies to your non-academic commitments.

Teaching in the first term focusses on core modules. The core modules are designed to promote development of skills in critical analysis, understanding interdisciplinary research, and scientific writing.

Cognitive Neuroimaging and Data Science MSc helps provide insight into theories in cognitive and computational neuroscience, and hands on experience in neuroimaging and data science techniques.
