MPhil in Medical Science (MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit)

About this programme

The primary aim is for our students to develop the skills required to submit an excellent MPhil thesis. To that end, our students design and conduct robust and high quality experiments and then analyse the results of these experiments. Alternatively, students may apply sophisticated analyses to existing ‘big data’ sets from large cohort studies. In both cases, an important aim is for our students to learn to communicate their findings both in writing and orally to academic or lay audiences. We also aim for our students to be fluent and practiced in open science principles and methodologies. Wh
