On successful completion of a major or minor in Neuroscience, students will be able to:

 Learning outcome
1Exhibit 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
2Exhibit a deep and integrated knowledge of the properties of molecular, intracellular, cellular, circuit and systems components of the brain and nervous system
3Describe how neuroscience methodologies have changed throughout history and discuss how emerging techniques and technologies can lead to changes in neuroscience
4Search, identify, discuss, critique and evaluate relevant primary scientific literature in the field of the neurosciences
5Collate, analyse, illustrate, describe, and present primary research data in neuroscience
6Communicate 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
7Relate 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
8Formulate hypotheses, design research plans and specify experiments that address and test hypotheses in neuroscience
9Develop creative and innovative approaches to problem solving in the field of neuroscience research and work effectively, responsibly and safely in individual and collaborative contexts
10Address authentic problems in neuroscience, working professionally and ethically within collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
