Students who graduate from Neuroscience will be able to:
| No. | Learning outcomes |
|---|---|
| 1 | Exhibit a broad and coherent body of knowledge of the organisation of the brain and nervous system, from its gross structure to the cellular, intracellular and molecular levels. |
| 2 | Exhibit a deep and integrated knowledge of the properties of molecular, intracellular, cellular, circuit and systems components of the brain and nervous system |
| 3 | Describe how neuroscience methodologies have changed throughout history and discuss how emerging techniques and technologies can lead to changes in neuroscience. |
| 4 | Search, identify, discuss, critique and evaluate relevant primary scientific literature in the field of the neurosciences |
| 5 | Collate, analyse, illustrate, describe, and present primary research data in neuroscience. |
| 6 | Communicate concepts and findings in neuroscience through a range of modes for a variety of purposes and audiences, using evidence-based arguments that are robust to critique. |
| 7 | Relate the structural organisation and functional properties of the nervous system to observable behaviours and processes of cognition and discuss the relevance to other biomedical and biological disciplines. |
| 8 | Formulate hypotheses, design research plans and specify experiments that address and test hypotheses in neuroscience. |
| 9 | Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the field of neuroscience research and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts. |
| 10 | Address authentic problems in neuroscience, working professionally and ethically within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams. |
| 11 | Articulate the place of neuroscience in community and society, its medical, educational, social and global importance, as well as its uses and potential abuses. |
