Neuropharmacology MRes

About

Introduction:

With our Neuropharmacology Masters course, you will also study a number of hot topics in molecular and cellular neuroscience, selected from current scientific literature.

Explore concepts and current research in cognitive neuroscience, including perception, brain structure and organisation, cognition, memory and the functional basis of certain human neurological and psychiatric illnesses.

This course is particularly relevant if you:

are a recently qualified undergraduate and are looking for the professional skills needed to obtain a job in a bioscience company
are working in an organisation and want a masters-level qualification to give you a competitive edge
require the skills and experience needed to study for a research degree
are an international student who would like to study abroad
would like the chance for extended research work in the lab of an experienced research academic

Take the part-time option so you can study at a pace that suits your lifestyle.
In the last Research Excellence Framework (REF 2021) - the UK's system for assessing the quality and impact of research in universities - we’re proud that 99% of NTU’s Allied Health Professions, Dentistry, Nursing and Pharmacy submission was assessed to be world-leading or internationally excellent.
100% of Pharmacology students would recommend their course at NTU and 96% are satisfied with the quality of their course. (PTES 2023)

Entry Requirements

You will need one of the following:

A UK honours degree (minimum 2.1) or higher qualification in a biological subject, plus laboratory experience gained through employment or an undergraduate research project.
Appropriate experience or other relevant qualifications will also be considered.

Student visas

Following an update to the immigration rules in January 2024, if you intend to study in the UK on a Student visa, you can only bring your partner / children (‘dependants’) if you are studying one of the following:

a research-based higher degree.

Please note that all of our MRes courses are classed as ‘postgraduate taught’ and therefore do not meet the requirement for you to be accompanied to the UK by your dependants.

Career

Careers and employability

The vast majority of students from this course progress onto relevant employment within their chosen field or study for a PhD. This is because they are able to develop extensive knowledge of their subject area as well as vital research skills. This knowledge is further enhanced by the research project which students can develop in their area of interest in depth.

Skills portfolio

You will gather together relevant practical skills throughout laboratory classes producing a training record. This can be presented to potential employers as proof of competence in a laboratory setting. It also provides you with experience of managing what is essentially a personal development portfolio, which is now a standard tool for monitoring progression and performance in a scientific career as well as out in the sector.

Employability Team

The University's award-winning Employability Team has an enviable reputation for helping our graduates find employment and offers individual consultations. Sessions are available to all students at NTU on CV writing and interview technique. Visit our Employability pages to find out more about the services they offer.

Although this course does not offer a formal placement, it is vocationally focused and benefits from strong links with industry.
