Translational Neuroscience

Receive high-quality training to better understand what causes neurological and psychiatric disorders on this Master's course.

Delivered by world-leading expert clinicians and neuroscientists, this programme also examines the various methodologies used in translational research to develop therapeutic approaches to treat neurological conditions.

You'll choose to study one of two specialised streams on this course:

• Stream 1: Psychiatry, Brain imaging and Machine Learning
• Stream 2: Neurodegeneration, Neuro-inflammation, Neuro-trauma and Neuro-regeneration

Both streams explore how different cellular components in the central nervous system physiologically work together to control brain function.

You'll then explore how this malfunctions in a variety of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

A laboratory-based project also provides an opportunity to apply your research skills to a particular neurological or psychiatric disorder in greater depth.
