The Neuroscience MSci offers an extra year on top of the Neuroscience BSc and is intended to extend your specialised knowledge of brain function and allow you to conduct original neuroscience research. Entry requirements for both programmes are the same. In this programme, you decide in year two whether you would like to follow the three-year BSc or the four-year MSci.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
The first year consists of introductory core modules that provide a secure foundation for future work. Taking modules with other students in the UCL Faculties of Life Sciences and Brain Sciences will give you insight into related disciplines. Taking further core and optional modules in your second year will prepare you for your third and fourth years, in which you will select specialised options to suit your interests. Examples include Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning, Pain, Neurobiology of Brain Injury and Disease and Cellular Basis of Brain Function, but there are many more.
You will have the opportunity to transfer to the BSc programme at the end of year two, completing your degree in three years instead of four.
In the fourth year you will be able to join an existing research team in one of UCL's departments or institutes to conduct an extended project of original research, guided by a supervisor.
