Neuroscience

Discover the nervous system at all levels, from molecules that make up individual nerve cells and the transfer of information from one nerve cell to another, to the complexities of how behaviour, thought and emotions are produced. Neuroscientists are interested in how nervous system function can be restored after disease and injury to the brain. Studying a major in Neuroscience means you'll be taught by academics with established international reputations in neuroscience research at all levels.

Neuroscience is a diverse, multidisciplinary science and graduates will be well suited to a range of employment destinations including research and clinical laboratories, government agencies and science communication.
