Our Program
Established in 2011, the goal of the University of Victoria’s research-based Neuroscience Graduate Program (NGP), which offers both MSc and PhD degree programs, is to produce well-trained and fundamentally sound neuroscientists within a multi-disciplinary environment which fosters crosstalk and collaboration.
The program draws top-tier graduate students from Canada, and abroad, who thrive both academically and scholarly in the form of awards, scholarships and scientific publications. The majority of graduates have achieved excellent career outcomes in the Health and Higher Education sectors.
The Neuroscience Graduate Student Association (NGSA) is a student organization, comprised of elected student representatives committed to bettering the experience of students in the NGP. All students enrolled in the Neuroscience Graduate Program are members of the NGSA. The NGSA meets monthly to disseminate student resources, discuss student concerns, organize scholastic and social events, and celebrate student achievements.
