Details about course variation options.

UCAS code: B141

You can choose to, and we actively support and encourage you to, undertake a professional placement. The professional placement provides you with an excellent opportunity to gain invaluable experience of working as part of a leading research team. This gives you the chance to discover what it is like to work in a real research environment or a health intervention setting and will enhance your career prospects. You will contribute to a medical or health related project, and may have the opportunity to attend a national or international science conference to present your research data, or co-author a research paper.

If you choose a professional placement, it will take place after your second year of study, and your degree will take four years to complete.

Undertaking a professional placement will enhance your professionalism, independence and confidence; increase your subject knowledge and research skills; improve your problem-solving, team-working, leadership, communication and project management skills; and prepare you for working in a professional work environment.

You apply for a professional placement during your second year of study and are supported to apply for positions with guidance from our staff. During your professional placement you are closely support by both your workplace supervisor and visiting professional placement tutor.

You can apply directly to one of these options using the UCAS codes below, or you can apply to the standard BSc Neuroscience course and transfer onto the professional placement option at the end of your first year.

If, as part of your four-year degree programme, you spend a full academic year studying or working abroad you will pay a reduced fee of £1,350 (or 15 per cent of the maximum fee for that year). If you spend a full year on a work placement (in the UK) you will pay a reduced fee of £1,800 (or 20 per cent of the maximum fee).
