BSc (Hons) in Neuroscience (with Placement Year), Keele University

The Neuroscience BSc at Keele, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, offers an in-depth exploration of the nervous system's anatomy and functions. You'll study how the brain controls motor activities, sensory perception, and stability. The curriculum covers cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, and human physiology, focusing on how the brain perceives, moves, and degenerates in health and disease. Additionally, you'll learn about key physiological systems like the digestive, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems and their regulation by the brain. The course also delves into how drugs impact the nervous system, brain development, learning, memory, and electrical brain activity. You will explore behaviour and sensory systems, alongside technological advancements aimed at brain repair and regeneration. Practical laboratory skills form a core component, with state-of-the-art facilities and opportunities to gain hands-on experience in human neural anatomy at Keele Medical School's Anatomy Suite. The theoretical and practical knowledge gained prepares you for diverse careers in science and biological sciences.
