Students from our course go on to pursue careers in research or research related disciplines, as well as careers in industry, clinical settings or education.

The MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at Durham University stands out because it has many practical elements, like workshops and lab placements, that allow you to experience research rather than just hearing about it.
