01
Course 1

Neuroscience

Neuroscience is one of the most advanced and rapidly growing scientific fields. The beginning of the 21st century has seen major advances in techniques for studying and understanding how the brain functions. Although much remains to be discovered about the brain's immense complexity, neuroscience is now a well-established scientific discipline. This course explores the subject from basic brain cell biology to modern techniques for studying the brain, as well as disorders that affect it.

What you’ll learn
  • What neuroscience is and the basic cell biology of the brain.
  • The electrical properties of neurons and how they communicate.
  • Key methods for studying the brain, from cellular to whole-brain approaches.
  • The structure and function of both evolutionarily basic and complex brain regions.
  • Common brain disorders in the 21st century and current approaches to treatment.

Common questions

Will I receive a certificate for each course?

Yes. You will receive an individual CPD-accredited certificate for each successfully completed course. Once you have completed all courses in the programme, you will also receive an additional CBEHx Professional Certificate recognising the full learning pathway and its combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Are the courses CPD-accredited?

Yes. Each course included in the programme is individually CPD-accredited. The additional consolidated Professional Certificate is issued by CBEHx and records the courses completed and their combined CPD learning hours. Read more in the Support Centre

Can my previous learning count?

No. Courses purchased or completed individually before enrolling in a Professional Certificate Programme do not count towards its requirements. To receive the consolidated CBEHx Professional Certificate, you must purchase the complete programme and successfully complete all included courses, or complete the requirements through an eligible annual subscription. Previously awarded individual course certificates remain valid. Read more in the Support Centre

Can I buy courses individually?

Yes. All constituent courses remain available for individual purchase.
