From treating degenerative conditions to pioneering advanced artificial intelligence, neuroscience remains a frontier of untapped potential.
At Sussex, you'll investigate cutting-edge findings about the brain and nervous system. You'll become part of a welcoming, collaborative environment within the School of Life Sciences. Our curriculum will spark your curiosity, covering subjects such as:
molecular and cellular neurobiology
developmental processes and genetics
neurophysiological systems
behavioral studies
neurological disorders.
Starting in your first year, you'll gain hands-on laboratory experience. You'll conduct engaging neuroscience experiments and participate in practical workshops. Additionally, you'll cultivate expertise in computing, programming, data interpretation, and effective communication.
Sussex pioneered neurobiology degrees in the UK. Expanding on this innovative foundation, our Neuroscience community now encompasses over 50 diverse research teams. These groups explore varied specialties ranging from visual perception and consciousness to artificial intelligence and behavioral science.
Upon graduation, you'll possess valuable data management and analytical abilities applicable to numerous scientific and science-adjacent professions. Potential career paths include:

You will normally need GCSE (or equivalent) Mathematics and two Science subjects with grade 5 in each (or grade B).
Extended Project Qualification
We take the EPQ into account when considering your application and it can be useful in the summer when your results are released if you have narrowly missed the conditions of your offer. We do not routinely include the EPQ in the conditions of your offer but we sometimes offer alternative conditions that include the EPQ.
