    Thank you so much! This was so helpful I'm starting bsc neuroscience in two weeks after loving biology and psychology at A level and there's no videos on this from a UK student perspective. Originally I was concerned it would be too specific compared to biomed but like you said I would just rather do something I'm passionate about. Everyone is always like ''so what do you want to do with neuroscience?'' and I'm like ''idk I just like learning about brains"

      @@dechante6696 omg we're literally the same, I did bio and psych at a-level and decided on this course (I'm in 2nd year now) not knowing what I wanted to do with it, I just figured I love learning about the body and the brain happened to catch my interest. But everytime I mention what course I do to people they instantly ask me "so what do you wanna do with that / where can that take you?" and look so confused when I say I don't know

    I am a business student majoring in 3 things banking, finance and marketing. I want to go in neuromarketing which mixes both neuroscience and marketing. And I get to know that you can go in neuroscience with business background! Obviously not the medical one but you can go in consumer neuroscience, decisional science etc. And for me, neuroscience with emphasis on consumer's brain activities is more interesting than normal medical neuroscience.

I aspire to work beyond academia and be involved in the medical process, treating patients or working on the fabrication of bio-tech devices that aid in the treatment process. Can I achieve this goal by pursuing a PhD in neuroscience, or should I have studied in medical fields from the beginning?

    love this vid! There's a lot of misconception or confusion about what cog neuro is, btw you're great at being a medical writer for sure (I can tell you love the topic and want to educate the community, it's amazing what you're doing). I'm starting my ms in cog neuro in spr 2021 this semester and I am def stressed about the analytical side of it, mainly the bio side, it's not my forte. However, the impact cog neuro has on the community, along with its implication, is what continues to fuel my passion and perseverance for the journey ahead - my goal is to work wi neurotech/pharmaceuticals!

    I got accepted to UC Riverside for BS Neuroscience, but I am from India and my family only makes USD23000/- and it actually costs USD55000/- each year to study. So might have to drop it. In India no university has this course in UG or PG, only in medicine or Ph.D. So might have to do MBBS or maybe do engineering and then apply for masters or just drop the dream. I really wanted to learn this course and go into research line. Sometimes you just can't get what you want.

      Hi! congratulations on your offer - thats fantastic. You will definitely be able to specialise in the research of neuro rehabilitation but with just a neuroscience degree, I don't think you can practice the rehab. You could go on to another course/qualification afterwards in you want the more practical side but if you are keen on 'how it works' per say, you could pursue a masters/PhD in tha area :)

    I have a 4 year undergraduate degree in Physical Therapy, but lately I've developed a keen interest in neuroscience. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to switch from clinical experience in neurological rehabilitation at hospitals.
    I hope to apply human biomechanics to neuroscience, rehab tech or explore the mind-body connection. Is there a relevant masters I can do? Since this is a very specific topic, how is the scope?
    Thanks 😊

    • @juliaraveyscience

      Thank you very much! That sound like such an interesting switch. You could go for a general masters in neuroscience and look before hand at the supervisors/projects you could do when applying. I know at my uni (UCL) there is a fair bit of research on neuro rehabilitation and that could span to the more specific areas you are interested in! So I would look for unis which research your areas of interest and then see if any masters permits you to work in those labs! :)

I don't want to go for clinical psychology and a research career in just psychology doesn't seem that appealing as a lot of experiments are hard to replicate in the field. I feel like neuroscience has more rigorous standards for experiments which will more likely be replicated - so psychology gives a good broad perspective but neuroscience helps in the nitty gritty so to say - imv a research with neuroscience as discipline will be more helpful to prepare me for a research career - but I'm not sure if unis accept psychology students for PhD in neuroscience ..is it mandatory to be from chemistry, biology background?

    I graduated from med school and currently working as general practitioner. I aspire to specialise in neurology or physical medicine & rehabilitation. I even consider psichiatry. Just a lot of interest😂. But before that, I really wanna take a postgraduate master degree in neuroscience to have a more comprehensive knowledge of it all. Is it odd to take it after medschool? Or do you have any options to suggest? I still wanna be a clinician, care for the patient and work in academic field. My main interest is actually everything about autism, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. I wanna help people with those disorders directly and do teaching in university as well.
    Hope you would share your thoughts on it. Thanks 😊

      Thank you! So cool to hear about your interests in neurology. Definitely not odd to do a Master's after - it is a great way to learn more on a subject you love! Would you also think about doing a PhD? I know a lot of clinical fellows who take a few years out of clinical work to study :)

    Thank you this is so interesting! I’m currently in my second year of studying a BSc in Psychology however my pure interests are in neuroscience and I’m gutted I didn’t take this route originally, if I study a MSc in neuroscience would these career paths be relevant to me?

    Hi, thank you so much for this video! I had a question, do you think you would definitely need A-level Chemistry to go on and study neuroscience at uni? I am currently thinking to do biology, psychology, maths and english lit, and don't have too much interest in Chemistry as of now so is it essential? I've also heard a level chem is extremely difficult if you don't enjoy it as much.

    • @juliaraveyscience
      @juliaraveyscience  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No problem! I know when I was applying, you needed Chemistry for most of the courses as the first year is biochem heavy - meaning understanding basic chem is really important. If you go to the university courses and check the requirements, you should get more of an idea! A-level chem is quite challenging but I really enjoyed it!

      I am far from being super knowledgeable about this, but I just spend the past 2 months working on an internship that is centered around computational neuroscience and I plan to pursue it long term. I am doing a neuroscience major and a computer science minor (still undergrad), so I kinda have a good idea of the sort of background you get from a comp sci degree. Here's my take:
      Most of what I do right now is centered around brain simulations and inverse problem. Most of the knowledge I have used so far revolves around math and comp sci stuff. The neurophysiological components of the simulations are relatively straightforward, although it does help to have knowledge of how neurons work and how populations of neurons can behave. But there are a lot of existing models that you can use right away and you don't need extensive knowledge of neurophysiology to do so. If you want to make custom models and work "under the hood" of simulations then you'd need to catch up with neurophysiology and math.
      There are also other branches in the large field of computational neuroscience, and often you can start with the branch that is closest to your current field and work your way to the branch that interest you most. The thing with computational neuroscience is that it is highly interdisciplinary, so everyone is bound to have to learn a lot of things before and during a project. The good thing about that is that if you don't come from a neuroscience background you won't be in a worse position than someone who came from a neuroscience program with focus on biology/physiology, you will only have to learn different parts than those people (they will learn comp sci/math stuff and you will learn bio/physio stuff).
      So, will it be easy? No. But will it be harder for you than for someone that comes from physics, biology, mathematics, neuroscience, etc.? Not really either. If you are interested in computational neuroscience, this shouldn't be a reason not to pursue it.
      Hope this helps.

    Hey Julia, thank you for the video! Right now I study Pharmacy in Germany (english is not my native language, so sorry for mistakes). But after I graduate I would really like to do a master's degree in neurosciences, because it's the field I am really passionate about. My Problem is that I don't want to do a degree in pharmacy for nothing and i would like to go into the pharmaceutical industrie to work in neuropharmacology. What I am afraid about is that I won't be qualified enough in my pharmaceutical knowledge to go into drug research and manufacturing because i didn't do my master's degree in pharmacy. Do you maybe know somebody who ist working in this field as a neuroscientist, so would you think with a pharmacy background and a master's and PhD in neuroscience I have a chance to get where I want to get? I know it is a very specific question but I would be so grateful I you could share some of your thoughts and experiences about this with me!

    hey!! I am doing five A-levels, physics, maths, chemistry, biology and psychology. I really like neuroscience and psychology but i’m not sure which one should I be choosing, I feel like psychology lacks enough science and that neuroscience lacks enough humanities. My aim behind studying these subjects is understanding the human nature and why do we act the way we do. I have keen interest in metaphysics and humanities yet I still prefer if it is backed up by science. Do you have any advice since you’re an expert in this field? and thank you.

      Hey, I’m not a neurosurgeon(not yet atleast) but in the US, after getting your bachelors degree you take the MCAT and apply to medical schools. Med schools will be very general and teach you about everything in the human body not just the nervous system. Once you graduate and become a doctor, you will be an intern at a hospital or clinic for a year and apply for residency in surgery. When you match into a surgical residency program, you will be a surgical resident for 4-5 years and will be exposed to all types of surgery(neuro, general, cardiac, vascular, oncology, plastic, obgyn, etc.) Once your residency is complete you apply for a neurosurgery fellowship which will take a couple years to finish. Once you FINALLY finish that, you can apply for an attending neurosurgeon position at a hospital :)

    • @juliaraveyscience
      @juliaraveyscience  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! To become a neurosurgeon, you would have to go to med school after getting your neuroscience BSc. You can apply for the normal course (5-6 years) or post-graduate accelerated medicine course (4 years). You would then have to complete that degree, do your foundation training for 2 years working as a junior doc in the hospital and then go into speciality training. I am not a medical student but I think surgery is one of the longest training programmes - maybe 7-10 years!
