Overview

Bachelor of Neuroscience

Are you interested in understanding the links between the brain and behaviour? Do you want to understand the biological building blocks of behaviour? 

The Bachelor of Neuroscience at UOW will provide a sound understanding of behaviour's molecular, neural and cognitive underpinnings and provide grounding in investigative research methods.

You will study the biological basis of behaviour and learn how the brain links to human behaviour. 

Using a foundation in biology, chemistry, and psychophysiology, the Bachelor of Neuroscience will provide the groundwork for applying this knowledge.

This knowledge will address questions related to understanding how we think, the processes underpinning aging, and neurological and mental health disorders.

Your first year will provide a broad understanding of foundation-level biology, chemistry, physiology and psychology. 

You will learn the basics of writing research reports, laboratory skills, scientific communication and the scientific knowledge that will be examined in depth later in the course. 

During your second and third year, you will learn about specific topics such as pharmacology, cognitive sciences, genetics and quantitative research methods. 

Throughout your degree, you will be an active scientist, gaining scientific skills that will be applied during a research internship in your third year.
