Neuroscience is all about understanding how the brain and wider nervous system works, and is one of the fastest growing areas of science.<br>The brain is a final frontier a last great unknown.<br>Neuroscientists are its explorers. They try to understand how the brain functions, how it deals with injury or damage, and how it develops and changes over time.<br>What they find helps neurologists, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists and provides important models for high-level information processing and robotics.<br>Knowing how the brain perceives stimuli and controls movement helps those working on human performance from sports science to space medicine.<br>To become a neuroscientist, you would complete postgraduate studies following your BSc. With a BSc(Hons), postgraduate diploma, or master's degree you could have an exciting research career in a university, research institute, or in the pharmaceutical industry. With a PhD, you could be a leader in new research and combine this with teaching at a university or in a research institution.<br>Neuroscience also provides a convenient first degree for those proceeding to postgraduate specialisation in professional or applied fields. For example, law, medicine, pharmacy, physiotherapy, audiology, and bioengineering.<br>Graduates with a BSc in Neuroscience possess valuable skills that are widely sought after by employers, including technical expertise in areas where there is a worldwide shortage of skilled workers.
