Overview

On this Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience degree course offered at Brunel University of London, you will develop a detailed understanding of the historical and contemporary concepts and theories underpinning our current understanding of human brain-behaviour, innovative neuroscience methods and their application to understand brain function, and the core cognitive and affective processes and associated neurology.

You will also be equipped with specialised analytical skills that will allow you to assess and interpret neuropsychological function in healthy and clinical populations, and will be able to report research evidence as a result.

Whilst studying either one year full-time or two years part-time, you will be taught by a multidisciplinary team of experts including psychologists, psychophysiologists, neuroimaging researchers and clinical scientists.

Careers and your future

Completing this exciting programme will equip you with skills and knowledge that prepare you for a range of PhD opportunities in cognitive and clinical areas of psychology, neuropsychology and neuroscience. It is also good preparation for some other forms of postgraduate training, and students seeking careers in data analysis and certain allied health care professions.

Moreover, the programme equips students with a range of transferable critical thinking, communication and analytic skills relevant to a wide range of employment contexts.

If you have Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (e.g. by having completed a BPS accredited undergraduate degree) then this MSc programme could help strengthen an application for further study on BPS accredited practitioner psychologist training programmes.
