At McGill University in Montréal, Canada, BA/BS in Neuroscience is offered as a bachelor's degree in Neuroscience programme. Tuition is CAD 104 per credit for local students.
This is McGill's Bachelor of Science with a Major in Neuroscience, offered through the Faculty of Science. The page describes the major as focused on how the nervous system functions, drawing on principles and methods from biology, biochemistry, computer science, mathematics, psychology, physics, and physiology. As with other Faculty of Science majors, students must satisfy both the specific requirements of the neuroscience major and the university's broader Foundation-year and degree requirements, and are directed to the Faculty's degree planning guidance to confirm the major fits within their overall degree. The page does not describe an honours track, research placements, a specific delivery format, or a defined admission profile beyond entry through the Faculty of Science. It suits students who want to study the nervous system through a genuinely interdisciplinary lens, combining biological, computational, and physical approaches rather than following a single-department course of study, and who may be considering further study or careers that draw on this multi-field grounding in how the brain and nervous system work.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Neuroscience Major is not decided by the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery: applicants apply to the Bachelor of Science through McGill's central Admissions Office and choose a Science Program Group on the application form, and that choice determines which majors, including Neuroscience, become available after admission. Quebec CEGEP graduates are admitted directly with the required science prerequisites on their Diploma of Collegial Studies; applicants from other Canadian provinces are assessed on their senior secondary record (Ontario applicants on the average of their 'Top 6' 4U/4M courses); international applicants are assessed by their own educational system and are normally admitted with an additional Freshman year. Meeting the published minimum grades does not guarantee admission. The programme page adds that enrolment in the Neuroscience Major itself is capped at 50 students per year, and that admitted students should already have completed BIOL 112, CHEM 110, CHEM 120, calculus and introductory physics or their equivalents. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no component below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo 125, or PTE Academic 65.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:McGill sets deadlines by educational background rather than citizenship. For entry in September 2027, Quebec CEGEP and Quebec high-school applicants must apply by 1 March 2027 (documents due 15 April 2027); applicants from Ontario and other Canadian provinces must apply by 1 February 2027 (documents due 4 May 2027). International applicants, including those on a U.S. high-school or IB curriculum, must apply by 15 January 2027 (documents due 1 March 2027). The application portal opens 1 October 2026.
