Neuroscience

2.1 The objectives of the group shall be:

2.1.1 Create a supportive community primarily for Human Neuroscience students at the University of Birmingham, bringing together students across all year groups and providing opportunities to meet course mates, build peer connections, and interact with students outside their own cohort. The society shall also be open to students from other programmes with an interest in neuroscience.

2.1.2 Provide academic opportunities relevant to neuroscience through activities such as journal clubs and research discussions, guest lectures from researchers and professionals, peer-led revision and academic support sessions, career-focused events, and promotion of relevant departmental events such as dissertation and research showcases.

2.1.3 Organise inclusive social events throughout the academic year, such as welcome events, games and quiz nights, film nights, meals, and other informal gatherings, to encourage interaction between Human Neuroscience students across different year groups and strengthen the course community.

2.1.4 Build connections between Human Neuroscience students, University staff, researchers, relevant student societies, and students from other neuroscience-related disciplines through collaborative academic, careers, research, and social events, contributing to a wider neuroscience network at the University of Birmingham.

2.1.5 Support incoming and returning Human Neuroscience students, particularly during the beginning of the academic year, by encouraging them to join the society, helping them connect with students in their own and other year groups, and providing opportunities to become actively involved in the society and its future committee.
