Course Overview

Our Neuropsychology degree program will provide you with the opportunity to pursue a number of different career paths, including working with people with a range of needs such as neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, strokes, traumatic and brain injuries or undertaking a research career either in industry or academia.

The specialist knowledge and skills you’ll develop over the course of this degree can offer a route toward a range of careers centered around brain function. While that often means clinical or healthcare settings, it could also offer routes into the pharmaceutical industry, community services, or teaching. Neuropsychology is even being applied to the marketing and advertising world, potentially offering some graduates a more unexpected path.

Many of the graduates aiming to become professional psychologists go on to postgraduate study, including our very own BPS-accredited master’s programs.
