Ranked first in Europe for Neuroscience, (U.S. News & Report 2020) and taught by a unique mix of current world leaders in different aspects of Neuroscience. Become a part of one of the largest Neuroscience research communities in the world, with over 450 Principal Investigators engaged in Neuroscience research.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

The first year consists of introductory compulsory modules including 2 neuroscience modules restricted to the BSc an MSCi Neuroscience degree students. This combination of modules will provide a secure foundation for future work and study. Taking modules alongside other students in the UCL Faculties of Life Sciences and Brain Sciences will give you insight into related disciplines. Further core and optional modules in your second year will prepare you for the third year, in which you will select specialised options to suit your interests. We provide 25 Neuroscience-specific advanced modules on offer for year 3 and 4 Neuroscience students, all taught by top Neuroscientists. They cover all areas, including computational, molecular/cellular, systems, behavioural/cognitive and clinical Neuroscience. Examples include Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning, Pain, Neurobiology of Brain Injury and Disease and Cellular Basis of Brain Function, but there are many more.

You will have the opportunity to transfer to the MSci programme at the end of year two, this is conditional to your marks in year 1 and 2. Transferring into the MSci programme will extend your degree programme to four years.

In the third year of the programme you will be able to join an existing research team in a UCL department or institute to conduct original research, guided by a supervisor. You can choose to do either a lab-based or a literature-based research project and will be able to select your topic and supervisor from the large pool of 450 PIs doing Neuroscience research at UCL.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Neuroscience.
