Hons in Neuroscience

Neuroscience at the University of Toronto is an Honours Bachelor of Science program offered at three campuses. Mississauga offers it only as a Specialist; Scarborough offers a Major or Specialist, along with a Health Sciences Stream variant; and St. George offers a Major or Specialist. Scarborough and St. George both include a work-integrated learning option within the program. The subject is grouped under the university's Health & Life Sciences area, described as covering the science of living systems through research, laboratory work, and interdisciplinary study. Ontario applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma with six courses at the 4U/M level, including English and Biology across all campuses, with most campuses also requiring Chemistry and an advanced mathematics course, and Physics recommended at St. George. The program suits students interested in the biological basis of behaviour and brain function, with a choice of campus-specific program structures ranging from a Specialist-only option to Major or Specialist tracks that can include practical, work-integrated learning experience.
