The field of neuroscience is one of the fastest growing in human physiology, and there is increasing interest in applying neuroscience to learning processes within the educational field. As a Master of Neuroscience and Education student at UNE, you will gain a specialized understanding of the specific neurobiological processes that underlie different kinds of behaviour within educational settings. As you explore evidence-based research on the application of neuroscience to learning, you will be equipped with hugely valuable skills in this emerging field. Once you graduate, you may also apply for research-based higher degrees and other doctoral programs.
Postgraduate and higher courses usually use academic prerequisites, degree equivalence and English-language requirements.
