Learn from leading researchers as you unravel the mysteries of the most complex organ in the human body—the brain. Remarkable recent advances make neuroscience one of the fastest-growing and most exciting areas in biomedical sciences. Taught by the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, our course combines their strengths, expertise and state-of-the-art facilities. From Great Ormand Street Hospital to the Institute of Cancer Research, you’ll find our graduates in a range of pharmaceutical, research and public sector roles. To prepare for your future, you’ll build a strong foundation in biomedical science, including neuroanatomy, biochemistry, molecular biology and pharmacology. ## Discover how to make breakthroughs Our research spans from medical neuroanatomy to the evolution of neuropeptide signalling in vertebrates. Through extensive genetic analysis, we’ve found strong evidence that there is a causal relationship between the genetics of impulsivity and bipolar disorder. A significant discovery in this area. In the final year, pick from modules covering subjects such as stem cells, the repair and regeneration of the nervous system, perspectives on brain disorders and drug design. You’ll also carry out a lab-based research project or work with an existing research group. How will you help shape the future of neuroscience?
