DescriptionThe focus of Neuroscience is to understand how the most basic microscopic operations give rise to complex behaviours like language, music, or social interaction. Neuroscientists have a wide range of interests, from psychology to molecular biology, to understand the human brain and its role in a healthy social, emotional, and physical life.

You can apply to the Honours Specialization in Neuroscience (BSc) after your first year in either Medical Sciences or in the Faculty of Science.
