This course provides you with a deep understanding of the brain mechanisms that malfunction in individuals with mental health conditions, and an ability to link this understanding to treatments for mental illness. You'll study how the brain, neurochemistry and genetics contribute to the behavioural patterns that we observe in different mental illnesses. You'll also examine how the understanding and treatment of psychiatric disorders has been improved by the advent of modern neuroscientific techniques, including neuroimaging and brain stimulation. An improved understanding of the underlying brain and biological impairments in mental health disorders will enhance the chances of employment in a number of research and mental health related roles. Students who have completed similar courses in the past have gone on to fully funded research PhD and clinical doctoral training programmes.
2:2 or equivalent in an undergraduate or postgraduate degree in Psychology, Neuroscience, or a related subject with relevant experience in the mental health field. We will look for strong marks in mental health, biological psychology, neuroscience and related modules
