Master Degree (By Coursework)

Master of Neuroscience and Education

The field of neuroscience is one of the fastest growing in human physiology, and there is increasing interest in applying neuroscience to learning processes within the educational field. As a Master of Neuroscience and Education student at UNE, you will gain a specialized understanding of the specific neurobiological processes that underlie different kinds of behaviour within educational settings. As you explore evidence-based research on the application of neuroscience to learning, you will be equipped with hugely valuable skills in this emerging field. Once you graduate, you may also apply for research-based higher degrees and other doctoral programs.
