Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Neuroscience with Artificial Intelligence Keele University, UK

Neuroscience and AI are deeply interconnected, forming a symbiotic relationship that drives innovation in both fields. AI draws inspiration from the structure and function of the human brain, leading to the development of artificial neural networks and deep learning algorithms that mimic cognitive processes.

Conversely, neuroscience benefits from AI's powerful data analysis capabilities, enabling researchers to process vast amounts of complex brain data, identify subtle patterns, and gain deeper insights into neural mechanisms.

On our Neuroscience with Artificial Intelligence BSc, you'll learn the key principles of neuroscience (e.g. neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neuropathology, and behaviour),  and develop the highly sought after AI-related digital skills to help unlock previously hidden trends in the complex datasets found in the field of neuroscience.

In your first year, you'll build a strong foundation in nervous system anatomy and function, human physiology, and anatomy, alongside essential computer science topics like programming, computer systems, and algorithm analysis — the cornerstones of artificial intelligence.

Throughout the programme you'll benefit from practical and professional employability modules, including research training in experimental design, scientific programming, and career-focused sessions, equipping you with the skills and connections for a successful career.

In your second year, you'll deepen your understanding of neuroscience research techniques, analytical methods, and the functional anatomy of the human nervous system, enabling you to design research projects and explore neurophysiology and pathology. Simultaneously, you'll advance your knowledge of artificial intelligence and data science, focusing on techniques like machine learning and computational intelligence.

You can also enhance your employability by choosing to spend time in industry with year-long or flexible placements or spend a year studying abroad.

In your final year, you'll undertake a self-directed research project, guided by our expert neuroscience staff. Whether laboratory-based or computational, your project allows you to plan, execute, and present your findings at our student conference, providing a unique platform to showcase your expertise and prepare for future opportunities.
