Clinical Neuroscience MSc

UCL (University College London)

This well-established and highly competitive MSc provides specialist training in the basic scientific principles of modern neuroscience, and in the application of these principles to the understanding of a wide variety of neurological disorders. You will benefit from studying in an internationally renowned and research-intensive environment at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. The Clinical Neuroscience MSc is a pioneering Master's programme taught at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology. UCL is the top-ranked university in the UK for research power in Psychology, Psychiatry and Neuroscience according to the UK’s most recent Research Excellence Framework 2021. On this programme, you will cover the fundamental cellular, molecular, genetic and systems level basis of both common and unusual neurological disease. It will relate the underlying pathophysiology to behavioural (or clinical) manifestations of neurological disease and will identify potential therapeutic targets that can halt or even reverse disease progression, or ameliorate disabling symptoms. Through our partnership with the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, students benefit from learning from researchers linked to the UK's largest dedicated neurological and neurosurgical hospital and reflecting our commitment to translational research. During your research project, you will have the opportunity to further develop your in-depth knowledge within a particular area of neuroscience. You will engage with current research at UCL, reflecting the Institute's cutting-edge research focus and environment. This MSc is suitable for clinical graduates with some experience in the neurosciences, and for non-clinical graduates with a degree in neuroscience or related subjects (psychology, biological sciences). The programme is aimed at those pursuing a career in professions relevant for clinical neuroscience and provides training for a future research career in basic and clinical neuroscience.
