The programme offered by the Goldsmiths, University of LondonÊhas been developed in partnership with theÊBlackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre and Neurodisability Service. The emphasis of this pathway will be onÊresearch and clinical aspectsÊof cognitive neuroscience.

You'll take six modules, including a research dissertation:

- Clinical and Cognitive NeuropsychologyÊ

- Developmental Cognitive NeuropsychologyÊ

- Statistics

- Foundations of NeuroscienceÊ

- Research Design and Analysis

- Research Project

The programme will provide you with knowledge of theory and practical issues relevant to neuroscience and clinical psychology in the UK health services and research centres. The two pathways allow students to shape their study plan according to their interests and career objectives. You will have the opportunity to develop your own research project under the supervision of a member of staff and relevant external clinical/research sector staff.Ê

This programme is intended primarily for graduates in Psychology, or closely related disciplines.

The Cognitive Neuropsychology pathway is aimed at students who want to develop further knowledge in clinical cognitive disordersto apply to UKÊclinical doctorateÊprograms or to students who want to pursue furtherÊacademic researchÊ(MPhil/PhD) in experimental psychology or neuroscience.

The Methods and Techniques pathway is mainly addressed to students who want to apply for aÊresearch doctorateÊ(MPhil/PhD) in cognitive neuroscience and related disciplines.

During the course of the MSc, students interested in gaining clinical experience will be encouraged to consider possible placements that may be available with one of the several clinical sites we collaborate with. In some cases, there may also be the possibility of carrying out research for their dissertation in these clinical settings.

Students on the Methods and Techniques pathway will be able to acquire valuableÊÒhands-onÓ experienceÊand build a research portfolio by means ofÊad-hocÊtutorials, research projects and workshops on some of the most recent cognitive neuroscience techniques (mainly TMS, tDCS, EEG).
