MSc in Molecular Neuroscience

Welcome to the web-site of the MSc Course in Molecular Neuroscience at the University of Bristol!

The MSc Molecular Neuroscience will provide students with state-of-the-art knowledge of neuroscience. Lecturers will not only teach basic principles of neuroscience, but will also cover the latest developments in their own field of research. Throughout the course basic principles will be illustrated in the context of various brain diseases, among which psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. Through the performance of practicals and a research project students will gain valuable experience in experimental neuroscience. Importantly, tutorials and presentations will contribute to the further development of communicative skills.

The course builds upon the research strengths of the departments of the faculty in neuroscience, molecular biology, neuroendocrinology, neurodegeneration and behaviour. Guest lecturers from other universities bring their specialist and advanced knowledge to the course.

It is hoped that graduates of this course will be well-trained scientists capable of developing and carrying out their own research. As such, the course will be of interest to those with a medical training who wish to diversify into research, and science graduates who wish to further develop their knowledge and skills before embarking on a doctoral research programme.
