Bachelor of Science - Psychology - Neuropsychology (C801)

In Bachelor of Science - Psychology - Neuropsychology students will specialise in understanding the structure of the human brain, and its functions to enable perception, thought, emotion, language and behaviour. They will analyse what happens when the brain is damaged or impaired, e.g. in head injury, stroke or Alzheimer’s disease and how such patients can be helped through rehabilitation. They become acquainted with advanced techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and event-related potentials (ERPs) for observing brain activity and diagnosing problems.

On this course, as well as gaining a thorough understanding of the broad range of topics relevant to modern day psychology, students will specialise in neuropsychology, and will develop an in-depth understanding of how the brain and the nervous system influence human thought, emotion, language and behaviour.

There is a wide range of continuous assessment on offer across the modules including essays, weekly homework, multiple choice tests, presentations, blogs, quizzes etc. throughout each semester and many modules include end of semester examinations.
