Study options in Neuroscience

Doctoral Programme in Neuroscience

This is a 1+3 year programme. Students take the one year MSc in Neuroscience in the first year and then proceed to a 3 year DPhil in Neuroscience in any area of Neuroscience within the Oxford network of laboratories and approved supervisors. We expect to be able to award up to two studentships for entry in 2024. These studentships offer funding at levels equivalent to most UKRI Doctoral programmes. This is likely to include a stipend and fees (at the home rate only), an annual research allowance and funds for training and attendance at conferences.

All applications must be received by the deadline of 12 noon UK time Friday 1 December 2023.

MSc in Neuroscience

The MSc is a full one-year course (from the end of September to mid September the following year), carried out within the Division of Medical Sciences, which provides a broad training in Neuroscience. Students must study within the three main branches (molecular, cellular and systems), learning both theory and practical research techniques. Applicants with a strong scientific background, but not necessarily in Neuroscience, are encouraged to apply. There are approximately 20 places available on this course. Students on this programme have been successful in obtaining a variety of scholarships.
