Students learn through both taught modules and practical application. Through developing and running their own imaging research project students are afforded the opportunity to participate in novel studies in one of several cognitive and clinical research areas including: social neuroscience, auditory physiology, neurotransmitter dynamics, stroke and acquired brain injury, vision, motor control, and psychopharmacology.Ê
Students graduating from the Êprogramme offered by the Êhave been extremely successful with 80% either in further higher education, or fully employed in the first year after degree completion.
The MSc is designed to:
- provide students with the knowledge and skills to design, analyze and evaluate imaging data.
- focus on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), including functional MRI, anatomical imaging, Diffusion Tensor Imaging, and Spectroscopy
- examine neuroimaging in the context of relevant applications.
- to place a strong emphasis on practical skills with a dedicated computer lab where students learn and apply modern analysis and imaging techniques.
Careers
The Neuroimaging MSc is especially suited for:
- students interested in pursuing an Academic career in the field of Neuroimaging;
- students looking to find a job as research staff in industry or academic labs involved in translational research;
- medical professional, looking to develop skills in a new emergent technology and research field;
- students with a background in physics, mathematics or computer science who want to move into cognitive or clinical neuroscience;
- students with a background in psychology or biology who want to improve their technical skills for a neuroscience career.
