Behavioural Neuroscience

Seek to understand the nature of individuals and why they behave the way that they do.

Behavioural Neuroscience prepares students interested in studying human behaviour with neurobiological perspectives.

Emphasis on a broad range of topics, from understanding behaviour to the complex molecular biology of the junctions between nerves and muscles. The courses required in this program correspond with admission requirements to medical schools and biomedical and psychology graduate programs.
