The ANU Master of Neuroscience (Advanced) is a two-year program that consists of one year coursework plus a year of independent research. The coursework component will provide you with an advanced knowledge of current concepts in neuroscience, and will support those who wish to move into a neuroscience field from related areas of science and psychology but do not have a significant neuroscience background. Your independent research will be required to develop expertise in a nominated area through independent research and completion of a dissertation.

Upon successful completion, students will have the skills and knowledge to: demonstrate high level knowledge in neuroscience; apply their knowledge in neuroscience to new problems; interpret, synthesise and critically analyse published literature of relevance to neuroscience; demonstrate basic and complex laboratory skills that are commonly used in an area of neuroscience research; perform experimental work, interpret and analyse results, write reports and collate data into a thesis; clearly communicate theory and results in both written and oral formats
