Description

IExplore the most complex organ in the body - the nervous system. You’ll learn how the brain and nervous system work to alter behavior, perception, mood and memory from a cognitive and physiological psychology perspective. Neuroscience is literally the ‘science of the brain.’ Studying such a complex organ – along with the nervous system it controls – requires the insights you can only gain from a multidisciplinary approach. You’ll learn to understand the cause and treatment for a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders and diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's, schizophrenia and depression. During the first two years you’ll acquire the background knowledge that will prepare you for a future career in neuroscience and related areas. Then in your final year you’ll be given the opportunity to specialize in core areas. You can build experience and skills by assisting researchers on paid internships, conferences, publications and grants or part-time assistant work. Gain an integrated understanding of the science of the brain by studying topics from both a psychological and biological perspective.You’ll study biochemistry, physiology and pharmacology, offering a multi-faceted approach to understanding how the nervous system functions and impacts our behaviour.
