Program Description

Studying a combined honours in Computer Science and Neuroscience gives you the opportunity to develop a wide range of expertise and skills in two exciting subjects.

Initial modules are designed to bring everyone up to speed, regardless of their starting level. In computer science you will learn the key themes that underpin the discipline such as programming best practices and the use of the latest tools and technology. In neuroscience you will gain a solid grounding in basic biological techniques, the core concepts of neuroscience and the practical skills required for a career within the field. Building on the knowledge you have learnt in both subjects, you will progress to explore advanced topics in your second and third year of study. Modules may include; programming concepts that can be applied in areas such as games programming, mobile app and web development, artificial intelligence and cyber security and how the brain develops and how drugs affect the nervous system. The programme will culminate with the opportunity to unleash your creativity and apply the techniques you have acquired throughout your studies by completing a final year project.

GAIN PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN INDUSTRY

In an increasingly competitive job market, employers are seeking to recruit employees who have high-level knowledge, skills and an understanding of the workplace. From a year working in industry to paid internships, our programme offers opportunities for you to gain familiarisation with the professional working environment, develop professional contacts and apply the skills and theories you have learnt during your studies. Please note, work placement year is only available in the Computer Science component of the degree.

INTERNATIONAL YEAR

In between years two and three of your studies you may choose to spend a year studying abroad. This exciting opportunity will enable you to understand your field from different cultural perspectives and to establish international networks. It also shows you have the personal attributes to embrace new experiences which can enhance your employability.
We offer exchange opportunities with a wide variety of partner institutions.

Alternative opportunities to gain international experience with the School of Life Sciences include our tropical field course that takes place in Malaysia or expeditions to some of the most remote and stunning places worldwide, through Operation Wallacea.

SUPPORT

We offer a robust, multi layered student support structure to help you meet your academic and personal needs. You will benefit from the guidance of an academic mentor and access to Keele's Student Experience and Support team. In Computer Science our open-door policy enables you to engage with your lecturers directly, meaning you can seek support, gain feedback, or discuss any matters relating to your studies on a regular basis. In addition to this, experienced students and doctoral researchers usually run help-desk sessions especially when exam and coursework deadlines get closer.

SOCIETIES

We have a wealth of student-led societies here at Keele which cover a diverse range of interests. Joining a society related to computer science or neuroscience is a great opportunity to continue to develop your skills away from your studies. This is another excellent way of demonstrating your genuine interest for the area and can be beneficial when it comes to applying for graduate roles.
