MSc Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience Studentships available to start in October 2027
We are pleased to invite applications for the MSc Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience Course commencing in October 2027. We have two fully-funded studentships available for outstanding UK and overseas applicants.
The course is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills of advanced technologies, to conceptualise and run research projects that develop and test novel psychotropic and neurological agents.
The course will offer you insights into a range of fields including molecular biology, brain imaging, behavioural research and epidemiology. It is delivered by pre-clinical and clinical research teams based in the Department of Psychiatry, Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, and in other University of Oxford centres within the neuroscience community, and in the NIHR Oxford Cognitive Health Clinical Research Facility.
Applicants should have, or expect to gain, at least an upper second class honours degree in any science discipline. Successful completion of a professional training course or professional work experience in the health service or a health-related field may also be considered.
The studentships will include course fees and a stipend (tax-free) of not less than £22,460 per annum. Applicants should apply through the formal University procedure.

Some positions — especially in Germany, Austria and Switzerland — are filled by writing directly to the supervisor rather than through an online form. These addresses were taken from the advert text, so check them against the official listing before you write.
A cold email to a supervisor is the highest-leverage thing you can send — and the easiest to get wrong. Ask us to look at yours before you hit send.
