Explore the endless possibilities of science with this degree as you can choose to study everything from astronomy to neuroscience. So whether your interests are broad or unique, the Bachelor of Science allows you to follow or find your passion. You’ll have the flexibility to explore all of your interests, tailoring a program to take you in whichever direction of science interests you most. And when you study at Australia's most reputable science university, you will gain access to state-of-the-art laboratories while being mentored by leading scientists. You'll also benefit from studying in Canberra, a science city which gives you unparalleled access to parliament, CSIRO, government departments, Geoscience Australia and many other national and international science organisations. Career Options Graduates from ANU have been rated as Australia's most employable graduates and among the most sought after by employers worldwide. The latest Global Employability University Ranking, published by the Times Higher Education, rated ANU as Australia's top university for getting a job for the fourth year in a row. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of a Bachelor of Science, graduates will be able to: develop, apply, integrate and generate scientific knowledge in educational and professional contexts; use a range of skills and methods to identify, analyse and respond to problems and issues; convey and relate professional and disciplinary information and ideas to diverse audiences in effective and appropriate ways; work and learn in both independent and collaborative ways with others to encompass diverse abilities and perspectives; exercise personal, professional and social responsibility as a global citizen. Neuroscience and Physiology Physiology is a key science underpinning health and disease: it is the study of functional life processes at all levels of biological organisation from the cellular and molecular to tissues and organs. The study of the most complex of these organs: the brain and nervous system occurs in the interdisciplinary field of neuroscience. This single organ controls body activities ranging from movement, to circulation and respiration, and to emotion, learning, and memory. The scientific study of physiology and neuroscience requires the skills of many different disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering. The specialisation in Neuroscience and Physiology exposes students to the fields of cellular and systems neuroscience and physiology through a variety of courses. Introductory courses discuss fundamental physiological processes in both health and disease. Areas of study can include human physiology, cellular physiology, and cellular biochemistry. The cellular and sensory neuroscience courses build on and expand from the physiology courses to investigate the complexity of the nervous system. The specialisation is designed to provide knowledge and conceptual understanding in neuroscience and physiology. Students will gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience with modern techniques, and will have the opportunity to work in research labs, be involved in scientific discussions with current researchers and will develop their ability to critically evaluate and communicate recent advances within these disciplines.
