Congratulations to all prize winners who have received an Amazon Gift voucher. Professors Philip Burnet (Course Director) and Zam Cader (Deputy Course Director) said:
We are delighted to announce the prize winners our MSc in Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience, Class of 2025/26. Overall, the academic performance of the cohort was exceptionally strong, with more than half the class achieving a distinction grade. Credit is due to those who faced challenges in their projects yet still produced high-quality dissertations, as well as to those who took the initiative to develop their own research projects in collaboration with the Oxford neuroscience community. This course which is run jointly by the Departments of Psychiatry and Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience, is only possible through invaluable contributions from allied departments and institutions in Oxford.
