Cognitive Neuroscience MSc

Durham University

We typically require a 2:1 Bachelor (Honours) degree in a neuroscience-related discipline, including—but not limited to—Neuroscience, Medicine, Psychology, Biology, Computer Science, Engineering, and other related fields.

Applicants must demonstrate competence in quantitative analysis and research methods, including core principles of research ethics, experimental design, and data analysis.

This requirement can be met through a range of backgrounds, including but not limited to:

completion of statistics, data analysis, or research methods modules;

quantitative or analytical training in disciplines such as mathematics, physics, engineering, or computer science;

independent research experience (e.g., dissertation, project work, or research-based employment) involving data collection, analysis, or modelling.

The majority of relevant modules should be at 2:1 grade or better.
