Study with us
Prospective undergraduate students
Cognitive neuroscience at Deakin begins in your undergraduate psychology degree. Expert CNU staff teach two neuroscience-specific undergraduate units:
- HPS310 Brain, Behaviour and Biology is a core Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) unit that explores contemporary neurobiological explanations of human behaviour.
- HPS395 Cognitive Neuroscience is an elective unit that provides an advanced examination of current issues, theories, methods and applications relevant to the area of cognitive neuroscience.
Please see the relevant course structure for more information.
Internship opportunities
Each year the CNU offers a limited number of unpaid internships to undergraduate students who are interested in a career in cognitive neuroscience.
If you are interested in being considered for an internship within the CNU, please contact Professor Karen Caeyenberghs.

Prospective postgraduate and PhD students
Prospective Honours/Postgraduate Diploma of Psychology Students
There are many opportunities to complete research within the CNU as part of your fourth-year psychology degree (honours or graduate diploma).
Each year the CNU offers psychology fourth-year research projects across a range of topic for around 50 students. Most projects are group-based, but assessments (including the Research Proposal and Empirical Report) must be completed individually.
CNU fourth-year project allocations for 2018 have been completed. Please check back later in the year to learn about the fourth-year projects being offered within the CNU in 2019. Projects for the following year are typically listed from November.
Prospective PhD students
There are many opportunities to complete your psychology doctoral research (PhD or DPsych) within the CNU. See our staff profiles if you would like more information on potential supervisors.
For more information about these programs, see the Doctor of Philosophy (Psychology) and Doctor of Psychology (Clinical) course pages.
