Tuition is 19,000 GBP per year.

Gain hands-on experience designing and conducting imaging studies using an in-house 3T MRI scanner, a central component of this programme. This MSc is meticulously crafted to bridge the gap between theoretical neuroscience and the technical demands of medical imaging research. Students engage deeply with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques, including functional MRI (fMRI), anatomical imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and spectroscopy, exploring their vital applications in biomedical research.

Practical Technical Expertise

The curriculum prioritises the development of essential practical skills required for a career in neuroimaging. Working within a dedicated computer laboratory, you will master sophisticated analysis and visualisation techniques. The course structure is balanced between methodological rigour and clinical application, ensuring you understand both the 'how' of imaging technology and the 'why' of brain biology in health and disease. Whether you come from a background in physics, psychology, biology, or computer science, this programme provides the environment to transition into cognitive or clinical neuroscience research.
