In this program, you'll explore the anatomy and workings of the human brain and nervous system. You'll apply this understanding to diagnose and manage neurological conditions. Through interactive seminars and practical laboratory sessions, you'll master contemporary research methods. Additionally, you'll develop expertise in computing, programming, data interpretation, and effective communication.
You'll become part of a welcoming academic environment within the School of Life Sciences, collaborating with fellow students and researchers. Our faculty members focus on diverse specialties including clinical medicine, brain anatomy, genetics, and developmental biology. Their cutting-edge research directly informs your education.
Sussex pioneered neurobiology degrees in the UK and remains the sole institution offering an undergraduate Medical Neuroscience program. You'll enjoy unique access to resources through our partnership with the on-campus Brighton & Sussex Medical School.
While many Medical Neuroscience graduates pursue medical specializations, we provide guaranteed interviews for Brighton & Sussex Medical School (subject to requirements). You'll also be prepared for various career paths such as:
