Overview
Our department is home to a world- renowned sensory neuroscience research group. Their projects provide the basis for teaching and research training on this MSc.
The course covers molecular, cell and developmental biology of auditory and visual systems. Advanced imaging and behavioural analysis focus on information processing: from sensory transduction to the central nervous system and behaviour.
You’ll also study animal models of sensory deficits and the development of therapeutic treatments for hearing loss and blindness.
