| What it is | Neuroscience is the study of how the brain and nervous system work, from molecules to behavior. You'll take courses in human biology, chemistry, and specialized neuroscience classes to understand brain function and neurological disorders. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom learning and paid work placements at research labs or health organizations, giving you real experience alongside your degree. This program suits students fascinated by how the brain operates and interested in hands-on research or clinical work. | This program combines psychology, biology, computer science, linguistics, and philosophy to study how the mind works and how we think, learn, and use language. Unlike a straight psychology or computer science degree, cognitive science integrates all these viewpoints to understand cognition from multiple angles. It suits people curious about the science of thinking itself, who want breadth across disciplines rather than depth in just one. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
