Master of Science - Cognitive Neuroscience

Advance your career with a Master’s in Cognitive Neuroscience at Swansea University. Gain hands-on experience in neuroimaging. Apply now!

The Master’s degree has been designed to bridge the gap between undergraduate study and PhD research in cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, and imaging methods. Students will learn how to design, analyze, and evaluate neuroimaging experiments that contribute to our understanding of the brain mechanisms underpinning aspects of cognition and behavior such as memory, attention, object recognition, neurodegeneration, and brain trauma. Students will get in-depth training in cognitive neuroscience research, introducing the principles of neuroimaging and gaining hands-on experience in structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI and fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
