奧塔哥大學(xué)

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three-year undergraduate degree which enables each student to develop his or her own interests in a science subject (science major) and related subjects. Students have the flexibility to combine their major subject with other science subjects, as well as subjects from other disciplines across the University.

Neuroscience is an interdisciplinary subject which covers the brain or 'neural' component of disciplines such as Anatomy, Biochemistry, Computer Science, Neurology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Psychology and Zoology. It is currently one of the fastest growing areas in Biology.

Because the Otago degree programme is truly interdisciplinary, it is constructed from papers offered by a large number of different departments.

Programme Requirements

100-level

• CELS 191 Cell and Molecular Biology
• HUBS 191 Human Body Systems 1
• PSYC 111 Brain and Behaviour
• either CHEM 191 or PHSI 191
• one further paper from BIOC 192, BIOL 112, or HUBS 192, CHEM 191, PHSI 191

Note: CELS 191, HUBS 191, and CHEM 191 and/or PHSI 191 should be taken in the first year of study to ensure unimpeded progress through the major subject requirements.

200-level

• ANAT 242 Neurobiology
• PHSL 231 Neurophysiology
• PSYC 211 Brain and Cognition

One of:

• BIOC 221 Molecular Biology
• BIOC 223 Cellular Biochemistry and Metabolism
• GENE 221 Molecular and Microbial Genetics
• GENE 222 Genes, Chromosomes and Populations
• PHAL 211 Introductory Pharmacology
• ZOOL 223 Animal Physiology

300-level

Four of:

ANAT 332 (taken in 2019), ANAT 335, ANAT 336, NEUR 302, NEUR 303, PHAL 303, PHSL 341, PHSL 342, PSYC 313, PSYC 317, PSYC 319 (taken in 2017 or 2019), PSYC 323, ZOOL 314,

Note: No more than three 300-level PSYC papers may count towards the major subject requirements

Plus

126 further points; must include 36 points at 200-level or above

Up to 90 points may be taken from outside Science

Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc(Hons)) is also available.

A specific aim of the Bachelor of Science with Honours (BSc(Hons)) degree is to develop advanced theoretical and research skills and in so doing to provide a platform for an advanced professional or academic career.
