神经科学研究大脑和组成神经系统的神经。大脑控制着所有身体活动，从心律和性功能到情绪，学习和记忆。实际上，大脑是使我们成为人类的要素。我们的课程将带您通过神经元的结构和功能以及它们在神经系统内的沟通方式，经历惊人的旅程。您将涵盖神经科学的所有主要领域，从分子到临床/病理学，您将研究神经系统疾病，这些疾病是许多当前公共卫生问题的基础，例如神经退行性疾病（帕金森氏症，阿尔茨海默氏病） ™）和慢性疼痛。您还将执行实用程序，在蜗牛脑中进行单个神经元录音。我们的综合硕士课程为您提供额外的一年专业培训。您将学习高级研究
Knowledge of neuroscience is essential to providing humankind with solutions to a range of complex global challenges, including those in health and wellbeing. On this course, you’ll be equipped with an integrated knowledge of the human body, brain and nervous system. Topics covered will include neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s), synaptic plasticity and psychopharmacology. You'll develop key skills and attributes required by neuroscience graduates and discover cutting edge topics and techniques, all delivered by our world-leading researchers. At Leeds, we prepare you for the workplace, ensuring you have the knowledge, skills, and attributes for a successful career. You'll complete a capstone research project, showcasing your expertise to potential employers and integrating everything you've learned during your degree.This integrated Masters (MBiol) gives you an additional year of specialist training. You will study advanced research topics and undertake your own extended research project within one of the major research laboratories in the School of Biomedical Sciences or an appropriate period of work based practice. You may also choose to apply for our 3 year BSc and transfer to an MBiol up until the end of your second year, subject to suitable academic performance and availability. Course highlightsDesigned to provide a broad scientific foundation and key graduate skills for those interested in neuroscience.Develop experimental skills in specialised laboratories. Use cutting edge instrumentation such as the EVOS microscopes and gain hands-on practical experience in labs.Progress from single neuronal recordings in invertebrate brains to measuring activity in whole human brains.Our year in industry programme allows you to gain experience working with organisations, developing new skills for your CV.Experience life and learning in a different country through our study abroad programme, where you'll gain fresh perspectives and develop skills valued by employers.Flexible degrees Neuroscience is a specialist degree within the School of Biomedical Sciences, which offers you flexibility throughout your time studying at Leeds.Some of our programmes share a common first year which means that at the end of year 1, there are opportunities to transfer on to other suitable and related degree courses, subject to approval. Additional degree courses may be available depending on your academic background.Wellbeing and supportThe University of Leeds features an extensive network of excellent services dedicated to you and your wellbeing.
