We aim to understand the nervous system and various neurological disorders. Youll be guided and supervised through your research project by experts in fields such as: the senses, synaptic physiology, the molecular and cellular mechanisms of learning and memory. Youll be based in the newly refurbished Neuroscience Centre, using a range of techniques from molecular biology to electrophysiology and multiphoton microscopy. You can choose to study for a PhD or an MPhil. PhD and MPhil degrees differ in duration and in the extent of your research work. For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. Youll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil.
