神经科学是对神经系统的研究，从神经细胞中发生的分子过程到大脑的功能。人脑包含一千亿个细胞，其工作方式仍然是所有科学问题中最引人入胜的问题之一。在我们的神经科学计划中，您将使用从神经细胞的生物化学和生理学到心理学家对心理机制的调查等方法探讨这些问题。作为本课程的一部分，您将在大学，临床或工业研究实验室或其他获得批准的机构中度过第三年的学习。这提供了一个获得第一手专业研究经验的绝好机会，并且已证明可以大大提高您随后的就业前景。在英国有很多就业机会，但近年来，我们有越来越多的学生在国际地点就职，包括东南亚，南非
Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, from the molecular processes taking place in nerve cells to the functioning of the mind. The human brain contains one hundred billion cells, and how it works remains one of the most intriguing of all scientific questions. On our Neuroscience programme, you will explore these questions, using approaches that range from the biochemistry and physiology of the nerve cells to a psychologist’s investigation of the machinery of the mind. As part of this course you will spend your third year on placement at an academic, clinical or industrial research laboratory, or other approved establishment. This offers a great opportunity to gain first-hand professional research experience, and it has been shown to greatly enhance your subsequent employment prospects. Many placements are in the UK, but in recent years we have had an increasing number of students taking up placements in international locations, including Southeast Asia, South Africa, Germany, Italy, Australia, Madagascar, and the USA.<br>Career prospects - Our Neuroscience qualification offers strong training for research scientists and a significant proportion of our graduates go on to study PhD or master’s degrees. Many others have successful careers in science-related fields such as medical and scientific research, biological and pharmaceutical industries, healthcare, toxicology, medical or scientific publishing, and science journalism, amongst many others. Through your degree you will also develop transferable skills that are attractive to a wide range of employers in more general areas of industry, commerce, public service, administration and management. A degree in Neuroscience can also act as a stepping stone to further training in professional areas including teaching, medicine, dentistry, nursing, veterinary science and accounting. In 201617, 93% of the School’s graduates who were available for work reported they were in employment andor further study within six months of graduating. Experience has shown that students who have completed a Professional Training Year are particularly well-placed to obtain degree-related employment at the end of their studies.<br><br>Full time with sandwich year
