Programme
This course shares the same aims of the single honours BSc Psychology course, providing you with a well-rounded education in the principles of psychology, but with a particular emphasis on cognitive neuroscience. You will develop particular skills in laboratory methods in brain imaging, in the real-time control of behavioural measurement, and in physiological psychology.
Students registered for the Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience degree will follow the Psychology programme for the first year. In the second year, there is a module in specialised research methods, which introduces you to a range of cognitive neuroscience methods such as event-related electroencephalography and functional magnetic imaging.
During the third year, you are offered advanced modules in Cognitive Neuroscience, covering areas such as motor control and perception. In addition, the practical project and report can be undertaken in a specialised area.
