Description:

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Neuroscience and Biology (Combined Honours) offers an enriched focus on advanced biology and hands-on laboratory experiences, as well as more research opportunities in Biology labs.

Neuroscience is a diverse and rapidly evolving discipline dedicated to uncovering the intricacies of the human brain. Our tight-knit student community actively collaborates with faculty on research into mental health and disease, focusing on topics including stress, neurodegeneration, nutrition and metabolism, transgenerational effects of trauma among Indigenous peoples, environmental factors impacting brain development and mechanisms of pain modulation. Theoretical concepts covered by our innovative courses are brought to life through cutting-edge labs where students engage in activities like neuron activity recording, brain tissue dissection and imaging, and disease modelling in cell cultures.

Many of the challenges society faces, from the development of novel health therapies and diagnostics to climate change and conservation, involve biological solutions. You will have extensive opportunities to learn in lab-based environments.

Your career: bioethics; consultant; education; genomics; health care; medicine and health sciences; policy analyst; scientific research; veterinary medicine
