Do you run a course or department with undergraduates, Masters or PhD/MPhil postgraduates?

Are you involved in a student neuroscience society with funds to spend on BNA membership?

Then BNA group membership could be for you! 

**If you are a group of 10 people or less, visit out Research Group Membership page, or contact us directly at office@bna.org.uk

BNA members

We welcome and encourage groups to join the BNA: a great way to benefit from everything that being part of the largest UK neuroscience community has to bring - and save money too!

“Each year we group register our PhD students and Masters students. It couldn't be easier - we send the BNA the list of our students for that year and the BNA office do the rest."

“My university paid for the cohort’s BNA membership, they do a lot to support students - if they hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to apply for the role I’m in and actually be here today”

Member testimonials:

“Each year we group register our Translational Neuroscience PhD students and Integrated Neuroscience Masters students for BNA student membership. It couldn't be easier - we send the BNA the list of our students for that year (names and university email addresses) and the BNA office do the rest, including sending us a single invoice - we even get a small discount!  Our students then all receive the benefits of BNA membership from the very start of their degree, including reduced registration fees for the FENS Forum and BNA Festival of Neuroscience meetings (which they are expected to attend). It is so much easier to take this approach than having to constantly remind 50 students to register separately.”
- Jane Haley, University of Edinburgh

“I was incredibly fortunate, my university had paid for the entire cohort’s BNA membership, they do a lot to support students - if they hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to apply for the role I’m in and actually be here today so all thanks goes to them.”
- Emma Soopramanien,  Queen Mary University London
