From curing degenerative diseases, to inventing the next generation of AI, there’s so much yet to discover in the field of neuroscience.
At Sussex, you’ll explore the latest discoveries about the brain and nervous system. You’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and academics in the School of Life Sciences. Our teaching will inspire you, with topics including:
molecular and cellular neurobiology
development and genetics
neurophysiology
behaviour
brain disorders.
From Year 1 you’ll be in the lab, gaining practical hands-on experience. You’ll carry out interactive neuroscience experiments and take part in workshops. You’ll also develop computing, programming, data analysis and communication skills.
Sussex was the first university in the UK to offer a degree in neurobiology. Building on that ground-breaking step, the wider Sussex Neuroscience community now represents over 50 different research groups. They work across a broad spectrum of specialisms, from vision and consciousness, to AI and behaviour.
When you graduate, you’ll have the data-handling and analytical skills for a wide range of science and science-related careers. This could include:
the biotechnology industry
the NHS and healthcare
academic research
science writing or publishing
science engagement.
