About

The Bachelor of Neuroscience will provide you with a sound understanding of the molecular, neural and cognitive underpinnings of behaviour while providing grounding in the investigative research methods used in this area.

Using a foundation in biology, chemistry and psychophysiology, the Bachelor of Neuroscience will provide you with the groundwork to apply this knowledge to address how we think, the processes underpinning ageing, and neurological and mental health disorders. 

Throughout your degree you will be an active scientist, delving into diverse fields such as anatomy, biochemistry, psychopharmacology, and Neuroscience. You will learn core scientific skills in writing research reports, laboratory work, scientific communication, and the scientific knowledge that will help you explore the biological foundations of human behaviour. 

You will gain hands-on experience and make meaningful professional connections. This degree will provide an ideal foundation for a future career in scientific research, science communication, data analysis, and medical sales.
