COURSE DESCRIPTION
Neuroscience is one of the fastest growing areas of study in human physiology. Graduates of this program will have been given the opportunity to understand how the brain works to maintain human behaviour, and what may go wrong in those neurobiological processes.
Course Aims
The Graduate Certificate in Neuroscience aims to provide students with the opportunity to study human Neuroscience at a postgraduate level, focusing upon neurobiology or clinical perspectives of human neuroscience. This course will produce graduates with specialised knowledge of the specific neurobiological processes that underlie a range of human behaviour.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, graduates will be able to:
1. demonstrate, through their own study and practice, advanced knowledge of neuroanatomy, cellular function within the human brain, and how these may impinge upon a range of human behaviour;
2. utilise cognitive and communication skills, tools and digital technologies to communicate appropriately and persuasively with a range of researchers and clinicians working in a multidisciplinary team related to neuroscience;
3. demonstrate postgraduate ability to use creativity and judgement in analysing neurobiological processes as they relate to human behaviour and to focus those abilities to everyday issues in neuroscience;
4. demonstrate postgraduate-level skills analysing information and evaluating evidence based practice/research drawn from a range of sources, reports, organisations and data sets; and
5. demonstrate and apply an advanced ability to critically evaluate and formulate proposals for undertaking research and/or conducting clinical assessments of neurological processes.
REQUIREMENTS

Rule B: You have completed a Graduate Certificate (AQF Level 8 or overseas equivalent) in a relevant discipline.
Rule C: You have completed a Graduate Diploma (AQF Level 8 or overseas equivalent) in a relevant discipline.
Rule D: You have a minimum of three years of full-time (or part-time equivalent) relevant professional experience and training undertaken in the past ten years.
An IELTS (Academic) overall score of at least 6.0 with no sub-band less than 5.5; or equivalent TOEFL score of at least 213 in the computer-based test; or at least 79 in the internet-based test with no less than 22 in the written component; or a PTE Academic minimum overall score of 57 with no skill less than 50.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
The University of New England was originally formed in 1938 as the New England University College, a College of the University of Sydney. It became fully independent in 1954. The university is located on several sites in Armidale, NSW. All the programs are offered via the four faculties: Arts; Economics, Business and Law; Education, Health and Professional Studies; and The Sciences; these faculties incorporate 18 teaching schools. Research is offered in the areas of rural science, agricultural economics, geology, educational administration, linguistics, archaeology, etc.
