Upper-year courses deepen understanding of the brain and behavior with advanced offerings such as Drugs and Behaviour, Behavioural Neuroscience, Introduction to Neuropsychology, and Research in Cognitive Neuroscience. Through this combination of theory, laboratory practice, and research-focused learning, students gain practical skills in experimentation, data analysis, and cognitive assessment. Graduates of the BSc program are well-prepared for graduate studies, health-related careers, or positions in research and applied neuroscience, equipped to explore the biological and neurological mechanisms underlying human thought, emotion, and behavior.
