Gain practical, hands-on learning skills while studying the nervous system at the cellular level and compare it with behaviour amongst different animal groups.<br>This program offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of neuroscience, with an emphasis on strong foundational science and practical laboratory skills.<br>Taught by area experts from the Faculties of Science, Health Science and Social Science and Humanities, you'll study the nervous system at the cellular level, understand its influences on functional circuits at the macroscopic level and learn how this forms the basis of behaviour, movement and neurological diseases. You will explore neuroscience from an evolutionary perspective, including a comparative analysis of the nervous system and behaviour among different animal groups. Your understanding of the function of the nervous system at the molecular, structural, behavioural and cognitive levels will be developed through interdisciplinary study and hands-on laboratory learning in the sciences.<br>Career opportunities<br>Pursue career and advanced education opportunities in a variety of areas including: Biotechnology laboratory research<br>Medical professions, including medicine or pharmacy (after further study), Pharmaceutical research<br>Physical or occupational therapy, chiropractic (after further study)
