University of New South Wales
Bachelor of Science (Neuroscience)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationNeuroscience is the study of the nervous system, which is one of the last great frontiers of knowledge. Neuroscience research spans from molecules, cells and pathways, all the way up to complex human behaviour. Neuroscience integrates physics, chemistry and biology, with studies of anatomy, physiology and behaviour, including human emotional and cognitive functions.
Neuroscience has two primary goals:
- to understand and explain the physical basis of behaviour and consciousness
- to understand and treat diseases of the nervous system such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s disease
Neurological and mental disorders are amongst the biggest contributors to the burden of disease in Australia. Improved treatments and cures are of critical importance.
