| Honours B.Sc. in Neuroscience is an elite interdisciplinary program designed for students who are considering careers in neuroscience research or related fields. The program is jointly administered by the Departments of Biology and Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour (PNB). Comprising all research related to neurons and nervous systems, neuroscience spans a vast range of topics, from the biophysical and electrochemical properties of nerve cells to the developmental biology of neural circuit formation to the information processing calculations carried out by the brain. Reflecting the thoroughly interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience, students in this program acquire a broad foundational skill set in several scientific areas, including Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics. These scientific foundations are coupled with a robust exploration of the core areas of molecular, cellular and systems neuroscience. The program offers unique hands-on laboratory experiences and the option of a fourth-year research thesis. Upon graduation, students will be ideally suited to continue to graduate studies in neuroscience or to pursue a wide array of other fields for which a strong scientific foundation is advantageous. |
