What it is	You study how the brain and nervous system work at every level, from molecules and cells to behaviour and disease. The BSc and Management stream adds business and management courses alongside your neuroscience work, preparing you for leadership roles in healthcare or research settings. This program suits people drawn to both biological science and understanding the mind, especially those interested in research, medicine, or healthcare careers.	This program lets you design your own degree by combining courses from multiple fields — anthropology, chemistry, English, history, philosophy, law, media studies, and others — rather than following a single major. You choose which subjects to focus on and how much depth in each, creating a customized path that suits your interests. It works well if you're curious about several areas and want flexibility to explore across disciplines before committing to one specialization.	International Studies is a degree where you combine courses from fields like economics, history, business, and development to understand global issues and how different countries interact. The iBA option includes a mandatory year abroad at a partner university, immersing you in another culture while continuing your studies, whereas the regular BA keeps you on campus. It suits students who want broader perspectives on world problems rather than specializing in a single discipline, and who are curious about how global systems actually work.
