Reimagine how we develop new treatments and drive technological advances that shape our world’s future.
Study neuroscience to deepen your understanding of how the human brain and nervous system function.
Examine the complexities of the brain and nervous system to explore how neural systems develop, process sensory information, control our movement, form memories, react to stress, respond to disease and store vital information about the world around us.
Combine your minor in neuroscience with courses across anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, molecular biology and cellular biology to prepare yourself for further study in the field of medicine, or to continue into a research-based honours degree in science or biomedical science.
You may choose to apply your neuroscience knowledge to help power artificial intelligence by studying courses across mathematics, statistics, computer science or physics.
Studying neuroscience will equip you to enter the workforce in fields as diverse as business, biotechnology, health, science or the pharmaceutical industry.
