Course Overview

Our MA Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuropsychology bring together some of the world's leading researchers in the field of cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology from centers such as the Centre for Brain and Cognitive Development, the Brain and Behaviour Lab, and the Birkbeck/UCL Centre for Neuroimaging. This specialist Master's degree offers hands-on training in cutting-edge behavioral and imaging neuroscience techniques and combines a basic-science perspective with clinical case-study perspectives. You will examine how theories of cognitive function can be informed by evidence from converging neuroimaging methods, such as functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging, electrophysiology, and transcranial magnetic stimulation, as well as from neuropsychological, patient-based techniques. Graduates can pursue careers in psychology, the health sciences, research, or policy development. Possible professions include neurologists, psychologists, or researchers. This degree may also be useful in a variety of roles within policy development, as well as in becoming a higher education lecturer.
