Improve your teaching and study skills through the neuroscience of learning in this online course from the UK's National STEM Learning Centre.

Scientists have called the human brain the most complex object in the known universe.

Neuroscience is gradually revealing more about how our brains acquire, store, and retrieve knowledge — and these insights can help us learn more efficiently.

Paul Howard-Jones is a neuroscience and education professor at the University of Bristol; Tim Jay is a psychology of education professor at Loughborough University.

In this National STEM Learning Centre course offered via FutureLearn, Howard-Jones and Jay show teachers and learners how to harness neuroscience insights for education.

The Science of Learning introduces the Engage, Build, Consolidate – or EBC – model for learning. It also addresses common learning myths and encourages engagement with neuroscientific research.
