The study of neuroscience is meant to explore how the brain and nervous system work. It involves a variety of different subjects, including neurochemistry, psychology, neural imaging, and even cognitive processing. This is a rapidly expanding field.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
