<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">COURSE OUTLINE:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">===============<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">This is a one-year full-time or two-years part-time Masters programme, consisting of taught courses (120 credits) plus research project and dissertation (60 credits). (<i>Note<b>:</b> students who need a Tier-4
VISA to study in the UK can only register for the full-time pathway</i>). It is designed for students with a good degree in the biological / life sciences (psychology, neuroscience, biology, medicine, etc.) or physical sciences (computer science, mathematics,
physics, engineering), however, individuals with different backgrounds but equivalent experience will also be considered. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The core contents of this course include (i) fundamentals of cognitive neuroscience (cortical and subcortical mechanisms and structures underlying cognition and behaviour, plus experimental and neuroimaging techniques),
and (ii) concepts and methods of computational modelling of biological neurons, simple neuronal circuits, and higher brain functions. Students are trained with a rich variety of computational and advanced methodological skills, taught in the four core modules
of the course (Modelling Cognitive Functions, Cognitive Neuroscience, Cortical Modelling, and Advanced Quantitative Methods). Unlike other standard computational neuroscience programmes (which focus predominantly on modelling low-level aspects of brain function),
one of the distinctive features of this course is that it includes the study of biologically constrained models of cognitive processes (including, e.g., language and decision making). The final research project can be carried out ?in house? or i!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">n collaboration with an external partner, either from academia or industry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">====================<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The programme benefits from an ongoing collaborative partnership with 5 different international companies with headquarters in UK, USA, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Carrying out your final research project with one
of our industry partners will enable you to acquire cutting-edge skills which are in demand, providing you with a competitive profile on the job market and paving the way towards post-Masters internships and job opportunities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
