Overview

The Cognitive Neuroscience programme from the University of Cambridge consists of seminar-style teaching on advanced topics in cognitive neuroscience, cutting-edge methods and bioinformatics training, and independent, self-directed scientific research projects and essays. The programme combines rigorous theoretical instruction with hands-on practical experience, ensuring that you develop the essential skills to drive forward your own independent research, and make meaningful contributions to the study of cognitive neuroscience.

The educational aims of the course are to:

give students with relevant experience at first-degree level the opportunity to carry out focused research in the discipline under close supervision; and

give students the opportunity to acquire or develop skills and expertise relevant to their research interests.

The course will also:

provide a strong foundation in the core principles of cognitive neuroscience - delving into topics such as neuroimaging techniques, neural networks, cognitive neuropsychology, computational modelling, and neurobiology of mental health conditions;
enable hands-on training in cognitive neuroscience methods and advanced analyses;
allow flexibility for students to explore their specific research interests via independent projects and journal clubs;
train students in academic scientific writing and presentation.
As a student in our programme, you will benefit from the vibrant academic and scientific community across the University of Cambridge. You will have access to state-of-the-art research facilities, including cutting-edge imaging technologies and advanced computational resources.
