UCL Brain Sciences has extended its application deadline until 28 August 2020 for the 1-year Master research programme. Located in central London UK, UCL has constantly ranked among the top 5 world-leading research universities in the field of neuroscience according to US News and QS World University Rankings.
The 1-year programme is ideal for students with diverse / quantitative backgrounds (e.g. engineering, computer science, psychology, biology etc) who would like to get into computational and systems neuroscience field. The first semester (3 months) will primarily be a combination of lectures, seminars, and journal clubs, independent and collaborative problem-based tasks. The following 9-month will be primarily a supervised empirical research project (see example below) that culminates in a dissertation in the form of a journal article and an oral examination. There is also opportunity for sponsored PhD study afterwards.
