Our Neuroscience & Psychology BSc program cuts across disciplinary boundaries to provide you with the knowledge and skills that you need to understand the workings of the brain and the relationship between mental and neural processes in health and disease. Offered by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN), the premier centre for mental health and related neurosciences research in Europe, it emphasises research-led teaching and provides an unparalleled opportunity to benefit from the expertise of world leading experts and state-of-the-art facilities. **Key benefits** - You will study in a multidisciplinary environment, learning from and working with world leading experts in neuroscience and psychology. - You will develop knowledge across disciplines and levels of analysis, from cells and molecules to cognitive and cultural processes. - You will be trained in the latest technological and methodological developments in cognitive, systems and computational neuroscience. - You will develop the computational, statistical and analytical skills required to work with complex neuroscientific data. - You will develop the skills and mind-set required for working with people from diverse scientific backgrounds. **Course essentials** In years 1 & 2 you will study a mixture of core and mandatory modules. Some modules incorporate the British Psychological Society (BPS) accredited curriculum conferring eligibility for the Graduate Basis for chartered membership of the society. Other modules will develop your understanding of neural science and methods and build your skills and confidence in statistical analysis and computing using software such as R and Matlab. You will have the opportunity study abroad for a year, or put your knowledge and skills in practice during a professional placement year. Our unique partnership with South London & Maudsley Hospital (SLaM), and the more than 100 research teams at the IoPPN, from basic and clinical neuroscience, to developmental neurobiology, to neuroimaging and psychiatric research, to neurodevelopmental and age-related disorders, ensure that you will find a placement that meets your interests. In your final year you can choose from an exciting and wide range of optional modules covering all flavours of neuroscience and psychology.
