Program Description

Neuroscientists are its explorers. They try to understand how the brain functions, how it deals with injury or damage, and how it develops and changes over time. What they find helps neurologists, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists – and provides important models for high-level information processing and robotics. Knowing how the brain perceives stimuli and controls movement helps those working on human performance, from sports science to space medicine.To become a neuroscientist, you would need to complete postgraduate study following your Bachelor of Science (BSc). With a BSc(Hons), postgraduate diploma or master’s degree, you could have an exciting research career in a university, research institute, or in the pharmaceutical industry. With a PhD, you could be a leader in new research, combined with teaching at a university or in a research institution.

Neuroscience also provides a convenient first degree for those proceeding to postgraduate specialisation in professional or applied fields, such as law, medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, audiology or bioengineering.
