  Course description
  Neuroscience describes how the nervous system generates behaviour, perception, movement, thought and memory. Studies of the brain and nervous system integrate a broad spectrum of biological disciplines and contribute to our understanding of neural development and diseases of these systems. This four year undergraduate masters programme incorporates a long research project in the fourth year.

  Career opportunities
  Bioscience graduates from the University of Manchester go into a variety of careers. About half stay in the life sciences and related disciplines, choosing either to study further research or taught courses such as a Masters or PhD, which could lead onto a career in bioscience, or medicine/dentistry degrees. A significant number go on to complete a science teaching qualification, such as a secondary science PGCE. Those that choose a career outside of the life sciences are highly sought after by large multinationals. Graduate programmes in accountancy, finance, law, marketing and publishing are particularly popular choices for graduates from the Faculty who do not wish to stay in science.
  
  The vast majority of graduates from the Neuroscience undergraduate Masters programme continue on with research within the field of neuroscience with most undertaking further qualifications (PhD or MD). As the training received is highly sought after by both industry and academia, most graduates have their choice of position.
