MSc Clinical Neuroscience: Stroke

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 2 years

Masters Degree Description

The programme provides a comprehensive education and research training for the next generation of researchers and clinical providers of expert stroke care. You will benefit from studying in an internationally renowned and research-intensive environment at the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology.

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. 100% of our students were in highly skilled work within 15 months of graduating with an average salary of £69,000 (Most recent Graduate Outcomes Survey 2022–23 data).
