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.
