Are you fascinated by the relationship between the brain and the mind?
On this course, you’ll discover neurobiology while exploring fundamental concepts in cognitive and clinical psychology. 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.
You’ll join a friendly and supportive community of students and scientists in the School of Life Sciences. Our researchers specialise in areas such as neurophysiology, cognitive and clinical psychology, molecular biology and pharmacology, and genes and development. Our multidisciplinary research underpins your teaching. This gives you the opportunity to dive into the topics that interest you the most.
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. We work across a broad spectrum of specialisms, from vision and consciousness, to AI and behaviour.
When you graduate, you’ll have transferable skills in neuroscience and psychology, as well as data-handling and analytical skills. This prepares you for a wide range of science and science-related careers, including:
the biotechnology industry
the NHS and mental health care
academic research
science writing or publishing
science engagement.
