Studying Neuroscience at Oxford is a great opportunity to be part of the revolution that is ongoing in the brain and behavioural sciences today.

There are many labs to choose from and a number of eminent people to work with. The most important aspect of studying Neuroscience at Oxford is of course the research. Oxford is consistently rated as one of the country's primary research environments in the Medical Sciences and Neuroscience plays a large role in the success of the University.

Perhaps the most distinguishing feature of doing research at Oxford is the college system. There are over 30 colleges in Oxford and almost all of them take science graduates. If you are applying to do a graduate course, you could consider applying for a graduate college.

In addition to the research, however, Oxford offers a wealth of opportunities to choose from. There is a Language Centre which runs free language classes and a number of sports and leisure centres. Many people who come to Oxford take up a sport in addition to their studies. This provides a change from the lab or office and is a great way to meet people outside your college.

There is no obligatory teaching that graduate students have to do, but many offer tutorials in term time. Tutorials are usually small group sessions or even one-on-one teaching in which undergraduate students are supervised through the writing and working through of an essay. Usually, the tutor would meet the student once a week for a term consisting of eight weeks.
