Neuroscience MSc

University of Liverpool

This course will introduce students to the field of neuroscience through the lens of clinical disorders of the central nervous system. It integrates clinical themes such as mental health, epilepsy, neurosurgery and pain, with foundational neuroscience and cutting-edge techniques. Building on partnerships with the Walton Centre (the UK’s only specialist hospital trust providing comprehensive neurology services) and Alder Hey Children‘s Hospital (one of Europe’s biggest and busiest children’s hospitals), this course is led by world-renowned clinical and scientific experts in the field. Students will have the opportunity to gain first-hand experience in neuroscience tools, treatment approaches and advanced research methods including neuroimaging and statistical analysis. This programme has a unique focus on patient experiences and ensures a well-rounded understanding of neurological conditions and the basic science techniques used to study them, preparing graduates for future careers or further study in neuroscience or related disciplines. Teaching will involve in-person lectures, workshops, seminars and practical sessions. The programme culminates in the research project, where students will be able to deepen their understanding and passion for the topic via hands-on neuroscience research.
