Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit
Phd in theoretical neuroscience and machine learning.
The four-year PhD programme includes in its first year intensive courses that provide a comprehensive introduction to theoretical and systems neuroscience and machine learning (see Teaching ). Multidisciplinary training in other areas of neuroscience is also available. We offer a supportive and interdisciplinary environment with close links to the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and Behaviours (SWC) and the ELLIS Unit at UCL. Students are strongly encouraged to work and interact closely with peers and faculty at SWC and the ELLIS Unit to benefit from this uniquely multidisciplinary research environment. Projects involving collaboration with researchers at and/or external to UCL are welcome. For details see programme structure . Students study toward a PhD in either machine learning or computational and theoretical neuroscience, with minor emphasis in the complementary field. Exceptionally, some students with pre-secured studentships have joined us to study for an MPhil degree in one of these fields. Students from other PhD programmes can also carry out all or part of their research in the unit. We do not offer taught undergraduate and Master's degree programmes, nor a research Master's degree programme.
Around 90% of our alumni students and postdoctoral fellows work in a scientific setting, with over 60% holding an academic position and about 30% working in research development in companies such as Google DeepMind and Facebook.
For more information on our current PhD students, please visit the People page and their individual pages linked therein.
Applicants must have a strong analytical and mathematical background, a keen interest in neuroscience and/or machine learning, and a relevant first degree (for example, in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Mathematics, Neuroscience, or Cognitive Psychology). Students seeking to combine work in neuroscience and machine learning are particularly encouraged to apply. Please note that candidates offered a place on the Gatsby PhD programme will be required to meet UCL's standard admissions requirements (including the English language requirements for international applicants).
Full funding is available to all students, regardless of nationality. Our PhD studentships cover UCL tuition fees for both home and international students and include an annual tax-free stipend as well as travel budget for attending conferences and workshops. We also welcome applications from students with pre-secured funding or who are currently applying for other scholarships/studentships.

This part-time, online course enables you to fit your studies around your other commitments, while you develop a comprehensive understanding of neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease. It covers the fundamental biology of the human nervous system, the mechanisms behind a range of illnesses, and the treatments that patients receive.
You will start with neuroanatomy, and study the human brain and spinal cord in detail. You will then learn about motor neurone disease, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and multiple sclerosis – how they occur, how they affect patients, and how they are studied by researchers. As you progress, you will focus more on the complex molecular and cellular mechanisms behind neurodegeneration, and how discoveries in the laboratory are translated into treatments.
In your final year, there is a choice of modules that focus on neuroscience research. You can learn about research practices on our Professional and Research Skills module, and conduct a literature review by examining the published research on a neuroscience topic. Alternatively, you can complete your own research project by, for example, analysing data or evaluating a clinical intervention.
Book a 15-minute online meeting with our course lead to find out more information and ask further questions.

Our curriculum begins with a solid foundation in neuroscience fundamentals. You’ll then explore the link between neuroscience and real-world applications through courses in clinical neurology and science communication. Finally, choose from a variety of electives to delve deeper into specific areas such as brain function, neurological disorders, imaging techniques, research methodologies, the history of neuroscience, or the societal implications of this field.
This course will explore fundamental elements of central nervous system function. Through three modules that each cover a key area for understanding the brain – neurophysiology, protein and genetic contributions, and neurotransmitters and neuronal activity – learners will obtain principal knowledge of cellular structures in the brain and how neurons communicate.
This course will examine structural and functional systems. The course will focus on brain and spinal cord anatomy as it relates to body function and will introduce key elements of the peripheral nervous system that play into our behaviors as humans. This course establishes a strong foundation for understanding how elements of the human nervous system work together to produce basic human behaviors.
The biological basis of various neurological diseases will be the focus of this course. It will explore the pathological and behavioral changes that occur in common neurological diseases and how they are used to diagnose disease. Discussions will focus on contemporary theories of disease onset, biomarker advancement, and novel treatments being developed by lead researchers today.
Science is an integral part of everyday lives, however, how science is communicated can often be intimidating or challenging to comprehend. In this course, learners will explore the how and why communicating neuroscience – from general audience magazine articles, news reports and novels, social media and podcasts, all the way to the academic research journal articles. Students will learn about how neuroscientists share their discoveries with other scientists, as well as with the general public. We will examine the unique elements of various communication types and assess their pros and cons for specific communication goals. Furthermore, learners will have the opportunity to re-think how we communicate science to the public and in areas specific to their own interests. This course will explore the how and why of communicating neuroscience and prepare learners to adequately understand various types of communications to continue exploring the ever-changing discoveries in Neuroscience.
Learners will focus on the ethical and societal implications of neuroscience and examine situations where neuroscientific discovery, outside of a laboratory, can change human lives.
An introduction to basic principles of neuroimaging methods and technologies as applied to human subject research.
An introduction to neurotrauma, cutting-edge research, and comprehensive care for individuals experiencing traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury and stroke.
Learners will be introduced to how scientific discovery occurs through learning to contemporary and popular research techniques, how to develop a solid research question, and creating a solid hypothesis.
Learners will apply historical context to understanding how today’s neuroscience research is influenced/driven by society and how it will be recorded in history.
As you research the right online program for you, you likely will come across the terms “asynchronous” and “synchronous.” Learn what these terms mean and how they’re important to consider when understanding how a program will fit into your life.
All courses are designed and lead by expert faculty from The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Within this program, you will interact with research, educational, and clinical faculty.
