Neuroscience postgraduate courses

Neuroscience MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Undertake teaching and research training based on projects from our world-renowned sensory neuroscience research group. You'll cover molecular, cell and developmental biology of auditory and visual systems, and advanced imaging and behavioural analysis focusing on information processing from sensory transduction to the central nervous system and behaviour.

Neuroscience and Neurodegeneration MSc

• September 2022 start
• 3 years Part-time Distance learning Online learning

Learn about the clinical features, underlying causes and development of new treatments for neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and motor neurone disease from experts at the Sheffield Institute for Translational Neuroscience (SITraN). This is a part-time distance-learning course designed for those in employment.

Clinical Neurology MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Gain practical clinical exposure and the chance to apply the fundamentals of neuroanatomy and physiology to better understand the clinical features of patients with neurological diseases. You'll attend hospital outpatient clinics and experience hands-on neuroanatomy dissection.

Translational Neuroscience MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Studying with world-leading researchers in motor neuron disease, Parkinson's disease and dementia at SITraN, you'll discover how fundamental laboratory research using models and biosamples is translated to develop new therapies. You'll undertake lab-based training and complete a 20-week research project.

Translational Neuropathology MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Train to use tissue samples in neuroscience research, aimed at understanding the pathophysiology of nervous system diseases and how laboratory breakthroughs have been translated into clinical benefits. You'll carry out practical brain dissection and undertake extensive lab-based training.

Advanced Cell and Gene Therapies MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Develop the essential skills required for each step of the translational pathway of cell and gene therapy products, from discovery and vector design through to clinical trials and market authorisation. The course includes a 20-week hands-on project.

• Funding available

Systems Neuroscience MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Explore the interactions between neural structures to understand how brain cells communicate and transform information to control the body. Learn about the core problems in systems neuroscience and develop your understanding of the disciplines and techniques used to address these problems.

Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Gain in-depth training in core aspects of contemporary neuroscience, from sensation and sensory processing to understanding complex brain functions and artificial intelligence. You'll work on a research project in cognitive neuroscience with a world-leading expert from the Department of Psychology and be prepared for a career in research, healthcare, industry or study to PhD level.

Cognitive Neuroscience and Human Neuroimaging MSc

• September 2022 start
• 1 year Full-time

Gain in-depth training in core aspects of cognitive neuroscience and human neuroimaging, enabling you to generate and interpret neurobiological data in order to draw conclusions from healthy and unhealthy brains. You'll develop skills in neuroimaging, neurophysiological data collection and analysis techniques, and practical neuroanatomy.
