Study With Us
Schools Science Programme
Aimed at sixth form students, this programme uses the facilities of the Centre and the concepts and techniques we use in our research, to bring to life aspects in their curriculum and stimulate students to consider a career in science.
MRI and MRS
MRI and MRS create a wealth of information about the body and how it functions. We merge together many disciplines and aspects of science such as:
- magnetism
- quantum mechanical physics
- engineering
- radio frequency technology and electronics
- computing and imaging analysis
- biology
- physiology
- psychology
