Neuroscience graduate program

The neuroscience graduate program is a multidisciplinary program, featuring faculty from a number of UVic departments:

• Division of Medical Sciences
• Department of Biology
• Department of Mechanical Engineering
• School of Exercise Science, Physical and Health Education

The multi-disciplinary approach of the program reflects the future of neuroscience research and allows students to develop diverse skills and engage in collaborative work both across our campus and in our community. 

The neuroscience graduate program produces students with a research-based background in either cellular or cognitive neurosciences, reflecting UVic's two major neuroscience research streams.

The program emphasizes connections between the core areas (learning and memory; synaptic function; developmental neuroscience; sensory motor systems; disease and injury) and encourages students to develop competencies in more than one area.
