Field of Study:
$39,811 /Yr
The BSc (Hons) in Neuroscience is a four-year course run by both the School of Biology and the School of Psychology and Neuroscience. The first two years of study provide an introduction to a variety of subjects which make up contemporary psychology and biology, including the relations between brain and behaviour, ecological diversity, and cell systems.
The skills the students gain in statistical analysis, research and presentation will prepare them for their final two years, during which they will have the opportunity to specialise in a wide range of advanced subjects. Potential subjects include (but are not limited to):
- neuropharmacology
- neurological disorders
- motoneurons
- clinical psychology.
Alongside biology and psychology, in the first year of their studies, they will be required to study an additional subject. In the second year, they will carry on with biology and psychology.
During their final year, they will also have the opportunity to carry out a research project on a topic chosen in consultation with staff from the School.
The University of St Andrews operates on a flexible modular degree system by which degrees are obtained through the accumulation of credits.
