理学硕士（MSc）是两年制学位，涵盖课程和研究。第一年主要涉及课程工作和初步研究准备。学生将有机会为现有的研究领域做出贡献，或开始开发新的领域。可以在下面列出的任何学科中研究MSc，并且可以通过课程和论文的结合或仅通过论文来获得。拥有学士学位的学生将通过论文和论文（至少两年的全日制学习）完成硕士学位。拥有荣誉学位或研究生文凭的学生只能按论文完成学位（至少学习一年）。<br>神经科学是一门跨学科学科，涵盖解剖学，生物化学，计算机科学，神经病学，药理学，生理学，心理学和动物学。它是目前生物学增长最快的领域之一
The University of Otago is the only New Zealand university to offer an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience. Neuroscientists apply a wide range of scientific disciplines, including Anatomy, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Pharmacology, Physiology, Psychology, and Zoology. As an interdisciplinary programme, Neuroscience is taught by staff from varied departments across the University. Each teaches a separate neuro component, resulting in a coherent and integrated subject. 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. What they find helps neurologists, psychiatrists and clinical psychologists and provides important models for high-level information processing and robotics. Knowing how the brain perceives stimuli and controls movement helps those working on human performance, from sports science to space medicine.<br><br>A candidate achieving the degree by papers and a thesis shall normally follow a programme for the equivalent of not less than two years of full-time study and not more than three years of full-time study, and a candidate achieving the degree by thesis alone shall normally follow a programme of study for the equivalent of not less than one year of full-time study and not more than two years of full-time study. Exceptions shall be permitted only with the approval of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Sciences).
