(Award available for year: Master of Research)
On completion of the programme students should have provided evidence of being able to:
- demonstrate in-depth specialist knowledge of techniques relevant to neuroscience and neurotechnology;
- demonstrate an advanced understanding of concepts, and information informed by knowledge across, or in aspects at, the forefront of neuroscience and neurotechnology;
- demonstrate an advanced understanding of techniques applicable to their own research, advanced scholarship or area of specific interest within the broader area of neuroscience;
- take a proactive and self-reflective role in their work and develop professional relationships with others;
- proactively to formulate ideas and hypotheses and to evaluate these;
- evaluate current issues and research in neuroscience and neurotechnology.
1.Critically analyse, evaluate and synthesise hypotheses and research within Neuroscience making use of a variety of sources.
2.Effectively apply advanced theoretical and practical knowledge to address problems in Neuroscience.
3.Effectively communicate to a variety of audiences, through, for example, written and oral approaches, scientific, technical and mathematical concepts, making use of equations, illustrations, figures and references as appropriate to Neuroscience.
4.Demonstrate advanced knowledge and application of scientific, technical and mathematical skills in Neuroscience relevant to pure and applied research in academia, industry and health care environment with support as appropriate.
5.Collect, process, analyse, interpret and effectively communicate data (including numerical, non-numerical and visual data), using advanced techniques and tools, and form logical, reasonable conclusions and recommendations.
6.Effectively follow, problem solve and develop practical experimental protocols as appropriate to Neuroscience.
7.Use a range of techniques and apparatus in the laboratory and field environment, as appropriate to Neuroscience, competently and safely, using appropriate support where necessary.
8.Design, plan and carry out a research project.
9.Demonstrate environmental consideration and work within ethical frameworks in a variety of settings as related to Neuroscience.
10.Effectively collaborate as a member of a team working on a shared task relevant to Neuroscience with appropriate support where required, which could include working with partners from a range of sectors including academia, industry and policy.
Masters (taught), Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate students will have had the opportunity to acquire the following abilities, as defined in the modules specified for the programme:
- the skills necessary to undertake a higher research degree and/or for employment in a higher capacity in neuroscience
- evaluating their own achievement and that of others;
- self-direction and effective decision making in complex and unpredictable situations;
- independent learning and the ability to work in a way which ensures continuing professional development;
- critically to engage in the development of professional/disciplinary boundaries and norms.
Achievement for the degree of Master (taught programme) will be assessed by a variety of methods in accordance with the learning outcomes of the modules specified for the year/programme and will include:
- demonstrating the ability to apply breadth and/or depth of knowledge to a complex specialist area;
- drawing on a range of perspectives on an area of study;
- evaluating received opinion;
- making sound judgements whilst understanding the limitations on judgements made in the absence of complete data.
