Course description
BSc Neuroscience with Biochemistry
Programme
Year one
You will study the fundamental aspects of human physiology and pharmacology and the essentials of cellular processes including genetic mechanisms and biochemical metabolism. In addition, you are introduced to various areas of neuroscience research and will acquire skills in oral and written presentation.
Year two
Similar to the BSc Neuroscience, this year will consolidate the main areas and approaches to neuroscience (and also Biochemistry), enabling you to gain specific training in practical techniques. The main areas covered include molecular and developmental neurobiology, molecular pharmacology, neuroanatomy and neurodevelopment, protein structure and gene function, physiology and pharmacology of the central nervous system, neurotoxicology, neuropathology and neuroendocrinology.
Year three
Your final year includes a number of more specialised neuroscience modules such as The Neurobiology of Pain, Molecular Biology of Receptors, Advanced Biochemistry and Biochemistry of Disease and Sensory and Clinical Neuroscience. However, major emphasis is placed on a research project, which may be laboratory based and include production of an IT website.
