Neuroscience is a branch of Biology that studies the nervous system. Its main aim is to gain understanding of how nervous systems function and the properties of neurons and neural circuits. Neuroscience programs usually teach subjects like Neurophilosophy, Molecular and Cellular Neurosciences, Genes and Biochemistry, Mathematics and Computational Methods for Complex Systems, The Biological Study of Behavior, Neurophysiology of Sensory Systems, Neuroanatomy, Neuropharmacology, Developmental Neurobiology, Stem Cells and Neuroregeneration, Neurophysics and more. Students learn about current topics in Neuroscience like Genome Stability, Genetic Diseases and Cancer, and Drug Addiction and its Treatment. They are encouraged to conduct individual research and thus gain valuable practical skills. Neuroscience graduates have knowledge of the structure and organization of the nervous system, neurodevelopment, how the sensory and motor systems function and different neurological disorders and how to treat them. A degree in Neuroscience opens the door for a variety of career prospects. Graduates can choose to carry out clinical research, work in academia, manage scientific laboratories, work in pharmacy, neuropsychology, biotechnology and many more.
