This knowledge will be expanded using case studies of specific disorders of, or affecting, the nervous system, including disorders of increasing prevalence. The unit is designed to equip students to pursue advanced studies in clinical neuroscience or to pursue studies in a professional degree program in medicine or other health professions. Material will be presented in lectures, tutorial and practical classes. Active learning approaches including case-based, on-line and individual learning will be used.
