The Neuroscience MSci is a four-year programme that extends the specialised knowledge provided by the Neuroscience BSc. It allows you to conduct a literature-based research project in year 3 and an extended lab-based research project in year 4. The MSci is designed to prepare you for a career in Neuroscience research. Students can decide in year 2 whether they would like to follow the three-year BSc or the four-year MSci (conditional to marks).

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

The first year consists of introductory compulsory modules including two dedicated neuroscience modules exclusive for BSc an MSci neuroscience students. The combination of these modules will provide a secure foundation for future work and study. Taking modules alongside other students in the UCL Faculties of Life Sciences and Brain Sciences will give you insight into related disciplines. Further core and optional modules in your second year will prepare you for the third and fourth year, in which you will select specialised options to suit your interests. We provide 25 Neuroscience-specific advanced modules on offer for year 3 and 4 Neuroscience students, all taught by top Neuroscientists. They cover all areas, including computational, molecular/cellular, systems, behavioural/cognitive and clinical Neuroscience. Examples include Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning, Foundations of Neuroinformatics, Neurobiology of Brain Injury and Disease and Sensory Systems: Biology & Disease, but there are many more.

You will have the opportunity to transfer to the BSc programme at the end of year two, completing your degree in three years instead of four.

In the fourth year you will be able to join an existing research team in one of UCL departments or institutes to conduct an extended project of original research of your choice, guided by a supervisor.

Upon successful completion of 480 credits, you will be awarded a MSci (Hons) in Neuroscience.
