30-Hours Professional Diploma in Science of Brain Disorders
Credit hours
3
Beginning with brain structure and function, the course surveys a range of conditions, including autism, ADHD, mood and anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases, brain injury and epilepsy. Learners also get an overview of the diagnostic tools used in neurology and psychiatry. It builds awareness and understanding for students, carers and professionals, rather than training learners to diagnose.
