Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Overview:

Neuroscience is the study of the nervous system, from the cells that form it to the actions and behaviors it produces. It brings together studies in biology, chemistry, and physics with those in behavior, anatomy, and physiology.

Objectives:

• Gain a broad understanding of neuroscience
• Study cellular neuroscience, clinical neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, and psychology
• Acquire relevant knowledge for postgraduate study in neuroscience

Program Description:

The Neuroscience major covers the structure of the nervous system, how it operates at the cellular level through to the whole system, and the common pathologies that affect it.
