Program Description: The Division of Neuroscience at the University of Alberta is a group of over 40 faculty members from 15 departments and five faculties. The Division offers a graduate program that is designed for students who desire a broad training in various experimental and theoretical aspects of neuroscience while maintaining a research program that may be more specialized. This can be achieved by drawing on the expertise of specialists (members of the Division) from various departments throughout the University. The graduate program in Neuroscience was established in 1991 and offers both a Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees by research. Advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses are offered by the Division and additional courses in neuroscience are offered by divisional members through individual departments such as Biological Sciences, Cell Biology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Psychiatry, Psychology, and Surgery. A wide range of research interests are represented, including sensory and motor mechanisms, neural organization, regeneration and growth, membrane biochemistry and biophysics, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, molecular neurobiology and behavioral and clinical neuroscience. Excellent support for training and research is available from local and national sources.
