About this course

Neuroscience is one of the fastest growing areas of study in human physiology. Graduates of this program will have been given the opportunity to understand how the brain works to maintain human behaviour, what may go wrong in those neurobiological processes, and the ways that research and remediation may be undertaken within multi-disciplinary settings.

Graduates of the Master of Neuroscience may apply for admission to research higher degrees and other doctoral programs.

What you will learn

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

demonstrate, through their own study and practice, advanced knowledge of neuroanatomy, cellular function within the brain, and how these may impinge upon a range of human behaviour;
utilise cognitive and communication skills, tools and digital technologies to communicate appropriately and persuasively with a range of researchers and clinicians working in a multidisciplinary team related to neuroscience;
demonstrate a well-developed ability to use creativity and judgement in analysing neurobiological processes as they relate to human behaviour and to focus those abilities to everyday issues in neuroscience;
demonstrate advanced skills analysing information and evaluating evidence based practice/research drawn from a range of sources, reports, organisations and data sets;
demonstrate and apply an advanced ability to critically evaluate and formulate proposals for undertaking research and/or conducting clinical assessments of neurological processes; and
demonstrate a preparedness to pursue a specialised knowledge and understanding to enhance professional skills and research and/or clinical outcomes in the general field of neuroscience.
