About this course
Bachelor of Science in Human Neuroscience, a biomedical science degree exploring the biological and psychological foundations of brain function. Core topics include Data Analysis and Research Methods. The curriculum spans three years of undergraduate study, combining foundational biological concepts with specialised neuroscientific techniques. Throughout the first year, students cover foundational topics through modules such as Cognitive Psychology, Genetics I, Introduction to Psychobiology: From Ion Channels to Behaviour, and Research Methods A for Neuroscientists. The second year builds upon this knowledge with more advanced study in areas like Current Research in Neuroscience 1, Data Science for Brain and Behaviour 1, Neural Basis of Vision and Action, and Neuroscience Methods 1. The course integrates laboratory skills, theoretical understanding, and experimental design to examine human behaviour and neurological systems.
