Overview

The Molecular Neuroscience programme from the University of Bristol is designed to support you in developing your knowledge of the intricate functioning of the brain. You will learn the basic principles of molecular neuroscience and acquire insight in a variety of experimental methods used in neuroscience research. Importantly, apart from learning about molecular mechanisms in the healthy brain, you will also explore the molecular mechanisms underlying brain disease, with a focus on neurodegeneration and mental health.

Career prospects

Graduating from the MSc Molecular Neuroscience can open several different career paths. Many graduates of the programme have secured PhD studentships in the UK or in other parts of the world, including the USA, Australia and Germany. This is often followed by a career in research or academia (for example, as a research associate, teaching fellow, lecturer).

Other graduates have gone on to a career in industry, scientific writing or clinical trial coordination. Some graduates have gone on to study for medical degree programmes after completing the MSc. Staff are available to discuss prospective career pathways with students who undertake our MSc.
