Course overview
The MSc Clinical Neuroscience programme is highly regarded by the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) as a leading course in Europe. It provides students with specialised, hands-on skills to study the brain and nervous system. The course gives important insight into modern research that is very useful for understanding many brain and nerve diseases.
