After this degree at UniSA, you will have a sound knowledge of psychology, combined with specialist knowledge and research skills in cognitive neuroscience. 

You will also study a combination of specialist psychology courses, electives and courses from the Cognitive Neuroscience major.

This is the only undergraduate degree specialising in cognitive neuroscience in South Australia.

You will gain practical experience in state-of-the-art campus facilities, including our cognitive neuroscience laboratory, Psychology Clinic and sleep and chronobiology laboratory. 

Here you will investigate brain activity and its impact on cognitive processes and behaviour. 

You will also learn using cutting-edge technology, such as EEG, and will have the opportunity to be at the forefront of developments in cognitive neuroscience research.

Further practical experience will be gained through research placements, which will help to extend your practical expertise – these experiences also offer opportunities to build vital industry networks.
