2-Semester Pathway - International Foundation Year - Science, Engineering and Computing - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Neuroscience at University of Leeds

Program Description

The International Foundation Year in Science, Engineering and Computing is designed as a versatile introduction to all three of these subjects. A core focus on Pure Mathematics will provide you with a fundamental understanding of the topic, as well as applicable skills for your further study. The chosen modular section of the course provides options of concentrated pathways such as Advanced Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, with a view to shape your degree in a way that suits you and the degree you wish to progress to.

Studying Neuroscience at the University of Leeds covers all major areas of neuroscience, from the molecular to the clinical/pathological, studying questions such as ‘what is consciousness?’ and ‘how do we form and store memories?’

Leeds' undergraduate degree, you’ll study the disorders of the nervous system which underlie many current public health problems such as neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s) and chronic pain. You’ll also carry out practicals, making single neuronal recordings in snail brains.
