Program details
Overview
This program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Science, delivered on campus. It examines brain and behaviour, including the molecular and cellular foundations of behavioural processes in animals and humans, through classroom instruction, tutorials, and laboratory work. First-year courses include general chemistry, introduction to neuroscience, linear methods, scientific and critical reasoning, and energy flow in biological systems. No co-operative work term, thesis, or practicum component is described for the major. The program suits students interested in understanding emotion, memory, sensory processing, and the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Career paths mentioned include biotechnology, biomedical research, pharmaceuticals, and public health services, and the degree also serves as preparation for graduate study or for professional programs in medicine or veterinary medicine.

Application Details
Application Deadline:For Fall 2027 entry, the University of Calgary opens undergraduate applications for domestic applicants on 1 October 2026 and for international applicants on 15 August 2026, both closing on the same firm application deadline of 1 March 2027, with supporting documents due by 15 March 2027 and offers accepted by 1 May 2027. International applicants follow the identical March 1 deadline; the university publishes no separate, later international closing date.

These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
