BSc (Hons) Neuroscience in Bristol United Kingdom | University of Bristol

Neuroscience studies will allow you to investigate brain functions across scales, from molecular interactions to complex neural networks, addressing key questions like: What mechanisms enable neurons to form memories? What neurological disruptions occur in conditions like Parkinson's or schizophrenia? How does our body process pain signals?
Your understanding will develop through foundational coursework in the first two years before focusing on specialized topics during your final year. Second-year modules cover diverse neuroscience areas, including central nervous system neurophysiology, neuroactive drug pharmacology, and cutting-edge research methodologies.
Advanced units in your final year reflect current scientific frontiers, featuring subjects like synaptic plasticity, brain-behavior relationships, and focused studies on neuropsychiatric conditions. The program includes a 30-day intensive research project.
Hands-on learning is supported by our digital laboratory platform, eBiolabs, which provides interactive experimental guidance.
