Current students will be able to complete under current rules or transfer subject to meeting new course requirements.

Students articulating from the Graduate Certificate in Science (Neuroscience) and the Graduate Diploma in Science (Neuroscience) will be granted advanced standing according the course rules for the Master of Neuroscience. Where students have completed units at 300/400-level which are 500-level units in the Master of Neuroscience, the advanced standing will be unspecified and students will be granted exemption from completing the relevant 500-level unit.  The School will contact all students enrolled for the Graduate Certificate in Science (Neuroscience) and the Graduate Diploma in Science (Neuroscience) to advise of this process.
