Overview
The Neuroscience program at University of British Columbia embraces principles of equity, diversity and inclusion and recognizes and accommodates individual needs and academic backgrounds. Through two core courses on molecular/cellular and systems neuroscience, respectively, students in the program develop a broadly based and applicable neuroscientific knowledge base.
Features
- Additional related courses are available for selection by the student and their supervisor. The program is research-oriented and students engage in research from the start of their studies.
- Research is undertaken in the laboratory of the supervisor and in their affiliated home department, over a wide range of basic and clinical neuroscience topics.
- With its inter-departmental structure, the program offers collaborative research opportunities that extend beyond the usual boundaries of neuroscience.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The objective of the program is to educate graduate students as neuroscientists with intensive experience in at least one area of research, and to ensure that students in the program develop a broadly based knowledge of the neurosciences.
- The program is comprised of more than 120 faculty members representing 20+ departments from the Faculties of Medicine, Science, and Arts at the University of British Columbia.
- Laboratory and teaching areas are located across the UBC campus, at UBC Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital.
- Our faculty have research collaborations that span across departments, industries, and international borders.
- Although the program is inter-departmental, various regular seminars, journal clubs, and invited lectures provide ample opportunity to meet and discuss current topics in neuroscience.
