Level 6 Diploma in Behavioural Neuroscience

Behavioural neuroscience is the general study of the relations between the structure and activity of the brain and its function in generating integrated adaptive behavioural responses. This level 6 diploma in behavioural neuroscience will provide participants with advance knowledge in behavioural neuroscience and neuropsychology. This course aims to explain the approaches and findings of biological psychology to understand why people behave as they do.

Course Overview and Learning Objectives

This Behavioural neuroscience Online course will explore the role of the nervous system in normal and abnormal behaviour, thought, and emotion. It will enable participants combine behavioural psychology studies with a solid understanding of the biological mechanisms of the nervous system. This course will place more emphasis on understanding the nervous system structure and function from the molecular/cellular level to the systems level. It will discuss the relationship between the brain, neurons, and behaviour, identify prominent structures of the human central nervous system and describe their function.

Core Curriculum Units

The academic structure of the program is defined by the following course units:

1. Foundations of Behavioural Neuroscience.
2. Synaptic Transmission & Neurotransmitter Systems.
3. Sensory & Motor Systems.
4. The Brain & Behavior.
5. The Changing Brain.
6. The Memory Systems.
