Neuroscientist

Neuroscientists study the biological and behavioural aspects of the nervous system. From their studies, they learn how the nervous system normally develops and functions, and how neurological disorders strike.

Neuroscientist

What does a Neuroscientist do?
Neuroscientists may perform the following tasks:
  • identify and study neurological disorders
  • work as part of multidisciplinary teams to research and develop medical and pharmacological solutions for people suffering neurological disorders
  • conduct research into technologies to reverse debilitating neurological disorders
  • gather data and concisely present findings
  • operate specialised scientific equipment and software.
What personal requirements will you need?
  • Able to co-operate effectively with other members of a multidisciplinary team
  • Excellent writing skills and experience of report writing
  • Good spoken communication skills
  • Able to work independently
  • Strong numeracy and knowledge of statistical methods and analysis
  • Computer literate and familiar with using computerised databases
  • Good organisational skills with ability to meet deadlines and manage priorities across multiple projects

Undergraduate Courses To Become Neuroscientist

Anatomy and Human Biology

A major in Anatomy and Human Biology will let you discover how your body works, why it works that way, where people come from and how we are related to one another.

Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Biochemists and molecular biologists are interested in the molecular functions of all living organisms from the smallest bacterium to the largest whale.

Microbiology and Immunology

Microbes are organisms too small to be seen without a microscope and Microbiology is the study of these organisms and the role they play in health and disease and the environment.

Neuroscience

A major in Neuroscience will allow you to explore how nervous systems work and how nervous system function can be restored after disease and injury to the brain.

Pharmacology

A major in Pharmacology provides a modern understanding of how medicines produce their effects on the body and how such knowledge is used to alleviate suffering caused by disease.

Physiology

Do you differ from a robot? Learn about the molecular and cellular machinery that makes up your body, as well as how it works in everyday life, and what causes disease.

Physics

Physics is the key to understanding the world around us.

Pathology and Laboratory Medicine

With Pathology and Laboratory Medicine you can explore the causes and mechanisms of human disease.

Public Health

A major in Public Health will allow you to study the patterns of health and disease in society and to consider what we can do to improve the health of the community.
