THE F ACUL TY OF SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE 101 100 THE F ACUL TY OF SCIENCE ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE BEHA VIOURAL NEUROSCIENCE BSc Seek to understand the nature of individuals and why they behave the way that they do Study the r elationships that exist between behaviour and the structural chemical and electr omagnetic organization of the brain Study a key discipline that strives to r elate all aspects of behaviour experiences and feelings to changes in the chemistry cell activity and physics of the brain Understand why abnormal changes in the physical pr operties of the brain ar e r esponsible for many psychological and social adaptation pr oblems and why some changes can pr oduce special behaviours such as unique talents Enjoy a pr ogram that is designed to meet the gr owing demand for scientists and technicians with a br oad knowledge of both behavioural and biochemical sciences Key featur es Opportunity for thir dyear students who display exceptional dedication and
