Entry requirements

The Department of Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology programs provide education in the discipline of neuroscience. This program includes education in many of the major topics in neuroscience including molecular and cellular neuroscience, systems and sensory neuroscience, behavioural and cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. Programs in Anatomy, Physiology and Pharmacology include essential prerequisite courses for life science professional schools (e.g. Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Nutrition, Veterinary Medicine) and while this program focuses on neuroscience it prepares students for graduate studies in many areas of the life sciences.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the courses you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
