Postgraduate Certificate in Science (PGCertSci) - Neuroscience

The University of Otago

Neuroscience examines how the brain and nervous system function, adapt and change. As a postgraduate student you move beyond coursework into discovery, exploring how neurons communicate, how brain circuits develop, how behaviour emerges, and how neurological conditions disrupt these processes.Our programme is strongly interdisciplinary, drawing on expertise from anatomy, psychology, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry and computer science. This breadth equips you to tackle important questions at the intersection of biology, health and technology, whether your goal is advancing new therapies, understanding brain function, or applying neuroscience in clinical or applied settings.
