The Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience BSc Honours at the University of Westminster is designed for intellectually curious students aiming to understand the intricate relationship between the brain's structure and function and human behaviour. You will explore how mental processes emerge and interact with the environment, blending theoretical psychology with experimental neuroscience. This interdisciplinary degree is ideal if you are fascinated by brain-behaviour relationships, research methodologies like brain imaging, and the application of psychological principles to clinical contexts. You will develop a strong foundation in biological psychology, cognitive psychology, and research methods.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over three years, incorporating lectures, seminars, and practical laboratory work, supported by online resources. Your learning journey will involve diverse assessment methods, from exams and essays to practical reports and presentations. You will engage with subjects like systems neuroscience, mechanisms of mind-body therapies, and cognitive disorders, culminating in a significant research project in your final year. Upon graduation, you will be equipped with analytical and research skills for careers in academic research, clinical psychology, neuropsychology, or further postgraduate study.
