What you'll study

This course combines three complementary disciplines: Philosophy (the study of fundamental questions about existence, knowledge, and ethics), Neuroscience (the scientific study of the nervous system and brain), and Psychology (the study of behaviour and mental processes). At the Bachelor Degree level (AQF Level 7), students develop critical thinking, analytical reasoning, and research skills. Graduates typically gain a deep understanding of biological systems, experimental design, and ethical frameworks. While specific subjects vary, the field of education (010999 - Biological Sciences, n.e.c.) indicates a strong focus on life sciences. This degree is ideal for those seeking to understand the human condition from multiple perspectives and may lead to further study in medicine, clinical psychology, or research.
