Study Abroad
New Zealand
Students entering the Neuroscience Program at Brandeis have opportunities to work in a range of fields, from cognitive neuroscience to the structure and function of ion channels. Spending time abroad will allow students to gain a global perspective of these fields and will provide an invaluable learning experience. This page contains information that will assist Neuroscience students with determining how to integrate study abroad into their Brandeis careers.
Approved Programs
Program & Courses Examples pages are organized alphabetically by department. The Brandeis approved program list database is filtered by programs with Neuroscience courses. You may also filter by other parameters like location, housing type, and more.
Receiving Credit in Neuroscience
Students wishing to receive credit in Neuroscience for coursework done off-campus during the academic year should discuss these plans with the Study Abroad Liaison. Students hoping to earn credit abroad toward their Neuroscience major should confirm with the Neuroscience department prior to departing abroad how courses may or may not be able to count. The link above is a list of already pre-reviewed courses and how they can count toward the Neuroscience major/minor. Upon return, semester students should complete the Petition to Request Substitution for a Requirement form for final and formal review.
Study Abroad Liaison
To assist students with their academic choices abroad and to help answer any questions about receiving major/minor credit while abroad, each academic department and program has assigned a faculty member to serve as the Study Abroad Liaison. As every department has different policies regarding credit from abroad, the Study Abroad Liaison can assist you with guidance on major/minor credit.
