The aim of the MSc is to prepare graduates for a career in neuroscience research via further advanced graduate training (to PhD level and beyond) or employment in academic or industrial sectors.
The MSc by Research in Integrative Neuroscience is coordinated by the Centre for Neuroscience Research, but contributions are made by research groups throughout the Edinburgh neuroscience community. Areas of research include cognition, systems biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, neuroinformatics and computational neuroscience, clinical neurobiology and brain imaging. The community maintains the highest standards of research training, and a long tradition of research publication in international journals.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete the programme will achieve:
* clear comprehension of the principles and scope of neuroscience research as conducted at cognitive, systems, cellular and molecular levels;
* advanced training in key techniques and skills required to carry out cutting-edge research in contemporary neuroscience, through conduct of original, interdisciplinary research projects in one or more laboratories;
* generic and transferable skills training in experimental design, project management, data analysis and presentation, both orally and in writing;
* and exposure to cutting-edge research by sponsored attendance at national/ international research conferences.
Contents
The programme comprises seminars, tutorials, practical demonstrations and either one or two original research projects. Examination is by continuous assessment of laboratory skills provided by expert supervisors, poster and oral presentations, research planning and project management, and a dissertation.
