The Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Western Australia offers you a deep dive into the intricate workings of the nervous system, from the molecular mechanisms of nerve cells to the complex neural basis of behaviour, thought, and emotion. This undergraduate degree is ideal for curious minds eager to understand how the brain functions and how neurological disorders can be treated and managed. You will be guided by academics who are internationally recognised researchers, gaining a comprehensive understanding of neuroscience that bridges fundamental science and clinical application.
You will study this program full-time on campus over three years, engaging with core units in human neurobiology, physiology, cognitive neuroscience, and comparative neurobiology. The curriculum progresses from foundational Level 1 units, including essential scientific literacy in biology and psychology, through to advanced Level 3 specialisations in neuroscience. You will develop critical analytical skills through laboratory work and research, preparing you for postgraduate studies or careers in research, medicine, allied health, and the biotechnology sector.
