COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Aims
The Master of Neuroscience and Education aims to provide students with the opportunity to study Neuroscience as it is applied within educational settings. The Master of Neuroscience and Education will produce graduates with specialised knowledge of the specific neurobiological processes that underlie a range of behaviour within educational settings.
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 brain, and how these may impinge upon a range of human behaviour within educational settings;
2. utilise cognitive and communication skills, tools and digital technologies to communicate appropriately and persuasively with a range of professionals working in an educational setting;
3. demonstrate a well-developed ability to use creativity and judgement in analysing neurobiological processes as they relate to human behaviour in education, and to focus those abilities to everyday issues in education;
4. demonstrate advanced skills analysing information and evaluating evidence based practice/research drawn from a range of sources, reports, organisations and data sets within general educational settings;
5. demonstrate and apply an advanced ability to critically evaluate and formulate proposals for undertaking research regarding neurological processes in educational settings; and
6. demonstrate a preparedness to pursue a specialised knowledge and understanding to enhance professional skills and research in the general field of educational neuroscience.
