Neuroimaging for Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience
The Master of Science (MSc) in Neuroimaging for Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Manchester is a one-year, full-time program designed to provide students with advanced training in neuroimaging techniques used to study the human brain. The program covers a wide range of topics, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and positron emission tomography (PET), as well as their applications in clinical and cognitive neuroscience.
Students will gain hands-on experience in neuroimaging analysis and interpretation, learning how to use these techniques to investigate brain function, structure, and connectivity in both healthy and clinical populations. The program also explores the role of neuroimaging in understanding neurological and psychiatric disorders. Graduates will be well-equipped for careers in clinical neuroscience, research institutions, or healthcare, where they can apply their knowledge to advance understanding of the brain and contribute to the development of new treatments for neurological conditions.
