Seminars are grouped into elements that cover specialised topics in neuroscience that reflect the research interests of the department. Four elements are taken in total. Topics include : ion channels in behaviour and disease; neuroscience of hearing and deafness; pain; brain and behaviour. Two elements may also be chosen from : physiological genomics; integrated cardiovascular physiology; the heart in health and disease; muscle, motility and migration. There are also seminars on the philosophy of science, research techniques and the evaluation of scientific data and papers. Sessions on personal transferable skills, career possibilities and IT are also held. The main practical work is an original neuroscience research project, undertaken in the department, a local hospital or a local school. This is usually done in pairs and carried out over two terms.
