Neuroscience degrees

Studying neuroscience

During a neuroscience degree, you’ll learn about the anatomy, development and function of the brain and nervous system, and how they affect the behaviours and emotions of human beings. You’ll likely touch upon topics like brain dysfunctions and conditions, addictive behaviour, cell biology and the sensory system, picking up industry-specific skills in the lab, as well as data handling techniques. Neuroscience graduates commonly go into further study or research roles, but other possible job opportunities include working towards becoming a neurologist, neuroscientist, clinical psychologist and science writer or lecturer. If you want to study a challenging degree which can lead to a lucrative and respected career, neuroscience might be for you.
