Honours in Neuroscience

Welcome to information about Neuroscience Honours. This information is intended for students who have completed undergraduate degrees at any university in Australia. Overseas students who are interested in enrolling in this program of study should read the information below and then contact the Course Co-ordinator.

The Neuroscience Honours at Australian National University is designed to:

  • Further students' knowledge of the cellular basis of brain function in health and disease
  • Teach students how to interpret and critique original papers published in neuroscience
  • Teach students how to write fluently and logically
  • Teach students how to analyse and present data that they have collected

In addition most students will have an opportunity to become proficient in the use of any or all of the following types of computer programs: those for word-processing, data management, graphing, reference management, drawing and seminar presentation. Thus, students should expect the course to provide them with not only specialist knowledge of brain function but also with a range of generic skills for use in a wide range of workplaces. The course is also an appropriate qualification for entrance to PhD study in any branch of the neurosciences at universities within Australia and overseas.
