The study of neuroscience is meant to explore how the brain and nervous system work. It involves a variety of different subjects, including neurochemistry, psychology, neural imaging, and even cognitive processing. This is a rapidly expanding field.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher mastery of the subject. Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
