I want to pursue a master's in advanced neuroscience related to neuro science departments abroad; which countries and programs would be suitable in UK/New Zealand?

You have two genuinely strong routes for an advanced neuroscience masters, and the right one for you depends on how fast you want to move and how much hands on thesis work you want. The UK gives you scale, funding and lab intensity, while New Zealand gives you a tighter, more personal research environment.

UK vs New Zealand Neuroscience Programs

Universities Worth Shortlisting

• University College London (UCL): MSc in Neuroscience or Brain and Mind Sciences, anchored by the Queen Square Institute of Neurology and the Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, strong in cognitive and computational neuroscience.
• University of Oxford: research intensive MSc in Neuroscience with two extended lab placements, covering molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience.
• King's College London: MSc in Neuroscience based at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, a leader in mental health and developmental neuroscience.
• University of Edinburgh: MSc in Neuroscience backed by the Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences, strong in neurodegeneration and synaptic biology.
• University of Auckland: MSc in Neuroscience through the Centre for Brain Research, focused on translational work in aging and neurodegenerative conditions.
• University of Otago: MSc in Neuroscience with an interdisciplinary network spanning medicine and psychology, strong in behavioural and cellular neuroscience.

My Advice

Pin down your sub field first, whether that is computational, molecular, cognitive or clinical neuroscience, since that single choice will point you toward UCL or Oxford for lab intensity, or Auckland and Otago for a longer thesis based research apprenticeship, and I can help you map entry requirements against your current transcript once you tell me which one you are leaning toward.
