Clinical Neuroscience
MSc
Year of entry: 2019 Duration: one year
Study mode: full-time
www.kcl.ac.uk/clinical-neuroscience-msc
The aim of our Clinical Neuroscience MSc
course is to give you a unique understanding
of the principles underlying the clinical
presentation and investigation of diseases
affecting the brain. We place particular
emphasis on the translation from basic
science to clinical practice. Our course is
suitable for students interested in
neuroscience and its applications to
neurological or psychiatric diseases.
Key benefits
- Provides a deep and detailed understanding of brain diseases.
- Emphasis on the translation from basic science to clinical practice.
- Designed to introduce the basic scientific concepts which underlie clinical symptoms, signs and practice.
Course details
Our Clinical Neuroscience course enables trainees in neurology, psychiatry and related health-care disciplines to study the anatomical, physiological and pathological basis of symptoms and signs of brain disorders. It will provide you with in-depth knowledge and skills related to specialist clinical practice and will systematically integrate advances in genetics, molecular neuroscience, electrophysiology and neuroimaging into clinical practice. You will have the opportunity to work independently within a multidisciplinary environment and at an advanced level to develop and sustain evidence- based practice, appraise and conduct clinical research and audit.
