Overview

The Neuroscience and Mental Health course at the University of Strathclyde will allow students to build both a strong knowledge-base and a clear understanding of the practicalities involved in research, drug discovery and development of therapeutic interventions for disorders of the nervous system.

Students will have access to expertise and facilities for in vivo animal studies, such as models for different aspects of learning & memory. The course will include training in associated ethical & legal considerations.

The course will be assessed by written examinations, written reports, oral presentations and moderated peer assessments. Formative and summative approaches are taken in different aspects of the course. The project is assessed by means of: performance (20%) a thesis (60%) an oral presentation (20%) prepared and submitted at the end of the project time.
