Plan Outline

This plan is for a Neuroscience MAJOR with an advance Science program, including combined programs.

The plan introduces students to the biological and behavioural aspects of the nervous system, and is based around the neuroscience courses offered by the departments of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology, and School of Psychology.

Stage 4

Subject to satisfactory progress throughout the course (normally a credit average), students may proceed to the Honours Stage. Before the commencement of Stage 2 students should consult with the appropriate schools and the Neuroscience program coordinating committee consisting of representatives from the Departments of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology and School of Psychology, about the courses required for a particular Honours program. Students should also note general guidelines for Advanced Science Stage 4. See Program 3972 handbook entry.
