Knowledge of neuroscience is essential to providing humankind with solutions to a range of complex global challenges, including those in health and wellbeing. On this course, you’ll be equipped with an integrated knowledge of the human body, brain and nervous system. Topics covered will include neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease), neuroplasticity and neuropharmacology. You'll develop key skills and attributes required by neuroscience graduates and discover cutting-edge topics and techniques, all delivered by our world-leading researchers. At Leeds, we prepare you for the workplace, ensuring you have the knowledge, skills, and attributes for a successful career. You'll complete a capstone research project, showcasing your expertise to potential employers and integrating everything you've learned during your degree. This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training. You will study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project within one of the major research laboratories in the School of Biomedical Sciences or an appropriate period of work-based practice. You may also choose to apply for [our three-year BSc](https://www.leeds.ac.uk/international-applying/doc/foundation-routes) and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance and availability. **Why study at Leeds** * Study with one of the largest centres for biological sciences research in the UK**,** with access to [cutting‑edge facilities,](https://biologicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/teaching-facilities) industry links and specialist research opportunities. * A course designed to provide a broad scientific foundation and key graduate skills for those interested in neuroscience. * Develop experimental skills in specialised laboratories. Use cutting-edge instrumentation such as the EVOS microscopes and gain hands-on practical experience in labs. * Progress from single neuronal recordings in invertebrate brains to measuring activity in whole human brains. * The opportunity to undertake an independent or team-based Capstone research project under the supervision of a field-leading academic, further developing the key skills and attributes that will set you apart in the graduate job market. * Our year in industry programme allows you to gain experience working with organisations, developing new skills for your CV. * Experience life and learning in a different country through our study abroad programme, where you'll gain fresh perspectives and develop skills valued by employers. * [Flexible options ](http://biologicalsciences.leeds.ac.uk/flexible-degrees-1)to transfer onto other suitable and related degrees at the end of year 1, as many programmes within our School share a common first year.
A Level: AAA | Including Biology or Chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Critical thinking and general studies excluded. We accept the following: Science: Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, PE. Science-related: Computing, Environmental Science, Food Science, Geography, Geology, Psychology, Statistics. Applicants taking a Science A-level (in England) will be required to achieve a pass in the practical element in addition to the standard A-level grade requirement. When an applicant is taking the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), the Cambridge International Project Qualification (Cambridge IPQ) or Welsh Baccalaureate Advanced Skills Challenge Certificate, this can be considered alongside A-levels and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. If you’re taking A-levels, this would be a one grade drop from the standard offer. For example, A in one of the above qualifications with AAB at A-level. GCSE: Grade 6 (B) or above at GCSE maths and Grade 4 (C) or above at GCSE English. The Faculty of Biological Sciences will accept Level 2 Functional Skills as equivalent to C/4 in GCSE English. | Scottish Advanced Higher | Five Highers AABBB, with AA in two Advanced Highers Including Biology or Chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Critical Thinking and General Studies excluded. We accept the following: ● Science: Biology, Human Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics. ● Science-related: Geography, PE, Psychology, Use of Maths and Statistics. Scottish Higher: Scottish Highers not accepted on their own. | Extended Project | Applicants offering an EPQ or IPQ qualification will receive a standard offer, as shown above, plus an alternative offer. The alternative offer would be ABB plus grade A in EPQ / IPQ. Subject-specific requirements are still valid. | International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme: 31 UCAS points | 31 overall with 6,6,6 at Higher Level, including Biology or Chemistry and another science or science-related subject. | Leaving Certificate - Higher Level (Ireland) (first awarded in 2017): H2H2H2H2H2H2 | Including Biology or Chemistry, and another science or science-related at Higher Level. | Cambridge International Pre-U Certificate - Principal: D3D3D3 | Including D3 in Biology or Chemistry, plus another science or science-related subject. Global Perspectives excluded. When an applicant is taking Global Perspectives, this can be considered alongside Pre-U subjects and may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. This would be D3/M1/M1 and grade D3 in Global Perspectives (BSc applicants) or D3/D3/M1 and grade D3 in Global Perspectives (MBiol applicants).
IELTS 6.0 overall, with no less than 5.5 in any component.
