Cognitive Neuroscience courses
Cognitive Neuroscience MSc This one-year interdisciplinary degree programme focuses on mental processes in the human brain, using state-of-the-art methodologies, including neuroimaging techniques, patient studies, and neurostimulation tools.
Cognitive Neuroscience MRes This programme also focuses on the relationship between the mind and the brain, but incorporates a more extensive research project and fewer taught modules than the MSc programme. The MRes is ideally suited for those with existing research strengths who wish to pursue a research career.
Developmental Neuroscience and Psychopathology MRes This unique two-year programme offered in collaboration with Yale focuses on developing skills in neuroscience, research, and understanding childhood disorders from multiple perspectives, including cognitive and psychoanalytic approaches.

Language Sciences: Neuroscience of Language and Speech MSc This programme is for students with a background in linguistics who are interested in applying their knowledge to understanding language impairments in individuals with brain damage and/or carrying out neuroscientific research on language processing.
