Neuroscience
Optimal exchange dates: Year 2
Planning your exchange: Given the Neuroscience major has no specified pre-requisites, students can technically plan an exchange at any point in their second year and take a combination of Science Electives/Breadth subjects. However, it is important to note that there are several “recommended” Level 2 subjects, including:
- BCMB20002 Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
- PHRM20001 Pharmacology: How Drugs Work
- ANAT20006 Principles of Human Structure
- PHYS20008 Human Physiology
- BCMB20005 Techniques in Molecular Science
It is highly recommended that students complete some of these subjects either prior to or during their exchange. The Faculty of Science has mapped a number of these recommended subjects at partner institutions.
