Brain and Behaviour

Neuroscientific research aims to understand healthy brain function as well as disorders of brain and behaviour in both humans and animals. As a relatively new field of study, which has only been recognised in its own right since the 20th century, it has benefited greatly in recent decades from novel technologies and has diverse applications including education, law and artificial intelligence.

This Masters in Brain and Behaviour covers the true breadth of this multidisciplinary field, from ion channels to human behaviour. Through hands on experiential learning, you will gain a cutting-edge grasp of nervous system structure and function and an appreciation of the field's real life applications in the clinic and beyond.

With the Brain and Behaviour at the Liverpool John Moores University you will develop key transferable skills in the design, analysis and presentation of neuroscientific and behavioural studies, equipping you with a strong foundation for pursuing a career in a range of research settings in both academia and the private sector.

Employability

The applied learning techniques and strong industry connections ensure students are fully prepared for the workplace on graduation and understand how to apply their knowledge in a real world context.

You will acquire acquire the skills to pursue a research career as a university academic or in research departments in the private sector, such as the pharmaceutical industry or consumer goods industry.

Courses include:

• Somatosensory Systems

• Current Methods in Brain and Behaviour

• Cognitive Neuroscience
