What it is	Behavioural Neuroscience is the study of how the brain and nervous system produce behaviour, combining biology, chemistry, and psychology. You'll learn how neurons work, how chemicals affect the brain, and how physical brain activity links to actions and thoughts. This program suits students curious about why people and animals behave the way they do and comfortable with both lab science and human behaviour.	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 teaches you the science behind living systems — cells, genetics, microbes, and how drugs work in the body. You'll study biology and chemistry at a deeper level than in high school, with options to specialize in areas like biotechnology, pharmacology, or human health. It suits people curious about how organisms function and interested in careers in research, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, or environmental science.
