MSc Clinical, Social and Cognitive Neuroscience in London United Kingdom | City St George's, University of London

Our Cognitive Neuroscience MSc program connects three key areas: clinical, social, and cognitive neuroscience. You'll develop a solid foundation in the neuroscience behind mental health, emotional well-being, psychiatric conditions, social interactions, and human cognition.
This interdisciplinary approach spans three scientific and medical fields. Clinical neuroscience explores the neural and cognitive foundations of mental health and neurological disorders. Social neuroscience examines brain mechanisms involved in communication, emotion, learning, and interpersonal relationships. Cognitive neuroscience investigates mental processes like memory, perception, and language in both healthy individuals and clinical populations.
Your education will combine seminars, lectures, computational training, and statistical coursework, culminating in a faculty-supervised research project. Our instruction is driven by cutting-edge research and delivered by globally renowned specialists.
