MSc Cognitive & Clinical Neuroscience

at Goldsmiths University of London

Program structure

Modules

The programme is based on seven modules, described below, including a research dissertation. The number of credits per modules represents the overall coursework load, which includes lecturing, practical work, tutorials and workshops.
 

You should have (or expect to be awarded) an undergraduate degree of at least upper second class standard in Psychology or a closely related scientific discipline (neuroscience, speech sciences, medicine, cognitive science) with a research component. 

You might also be considered for some programmes if you aren’t a graduate or your degree is in an unrelated field, but have relevant experience and can show that you have the ability to work at postgraduate level.

If English isn’t your first language, you will need an IELTS score (or equivalent English language qualification) of 6.5 with a 6.5 in writing and no element lower than 6.0 to study this programme. If you need assistance with your English language, we offer a range of courses that can help prepare you for postgraduate-level study.

Career Opportunity

This programme is intended primarily for graduates in Psychology, or closely related disciplines.

The programme is aimed at students who want to:

• pursue further academic research (MPhil/PhD) in experimental psychology or neuroscience

• teach in higher education

• develop further knowledge for clinical careers involving work with brain-damaged patients or people suffering from developmental cognitive disorders

• develop theoretical and some practical knowledge in the application of cognitive and clinical neuroscience methods and techniques for research purposes

During the course of the MSc, students interested in gaining clinical experience will be encouraged to consider possible placements that may be available with one of the several clinical sites we collaborate with. In some cases, there may also be the possibility of carrying out research for their dissertation in these clinical settings.
