Master of Science in Neuroscience

University of Victoria - Kaplan

Our Master of Science in Neuroscience (MSc) is a full-time research degree with a thesis requirement and coursework. Your thesis will be based on your own original research. This program emphasizes the connections between the core areas in neuroscience. These core areas include, but are not limited to, learning and memory, synaptic function, developmental neuroscience, sensory motor systems and disease and industry.The multi-disciplinary approach of the program reflects the future of neuroscience research and allows students to develop diverse skills and engage in collaborative work both across our campus and in our community. The neuroscience graduate program produces students with a research-based background in either cellular or cognitive neurosciences, reflecting UVic's two major neuroscience research streams.The program emphasizes connections between the core areas (learning and memory synaptic function developmental neuroscience sensory motor systems disease and injury) and encourages students to develop competencies in more than one area.The multi-disciplinary approach of the program reflects the future of neuroscience research and allows students to develop diverse skills and engage in collaborative work both across our campus and in our community.
