Education

The mysteries of how the brain develops, functions and malfunctions are among the most challenging and fascinating in modern medicine where new techniques at the molecular, cellular, behavioural, bioengineering and computational level are opening up new avenues for major discovery to understand and enhance brain health across the lifespan.

The CNS Centre offers first class opportunities for undergraduate and post-graduate education, research and continuing professional development in Neuroscience.  Our ambition and educational portfolio is designed to provide world class multidisciplinary and student-centred education in neuroscience, enabling students to develop to lead the way as neuroscientists of the future in research, clinical, industrial and policy spheres.

Our Centre provides highly interdisciplinary, intellectually vibrant education, training and mentoring within our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, attracting excellent students. Our undergraduate Neuroscience degree was the first Neuroscience degree programme to be developed in Ireland, leading the way in educating the neuroscientists of our future.
