MSc Clinical Neuroscience: Neuromuscular Disease

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 2 years

Masters Degree Description

Students on this programme will benefit from the cutting-edge research ( REF 2021 ) conducted at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and take modules covering anatomy and physiology of the neuromuscular system; pathophysiology, genetic and clinical research; and clinical trends in neuromuscular diseases. Students will carry out substantial projects with world-leading experts ( Clarivate’s annual ‘Highly Cited Researchers List’ 2024 ) engaged in neuromuscular diseases and attend clinical presentations given by clinical experts.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in an appropriate subject (neuroscience or related biological science e.g. physiology, psychology, pharmacology, biochemistry; or a medical degree from a UK university), Bachelor's degree in a profession allied to medicine (e.g. nursing, physiotherapy, occupational health) or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard is required.

Student Destinations

Many of our graduates have undertaken further study at PhD level, or have successfully applied to medical school. Some clinicians who took time out to obtain a higher qualification have returned to training, and scientists have progressed to become post-doctoral researchers. 88% of graduates from the MSc Clinical Neuroscience programme (including Neuromuscular and Stroke routes) were in work or further study within 15 months of completing their studies (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2022–2023).
