Is neuroscience hard?

Im thinking of doing neuroscience as a degree, however, my a levels are in biology, psychology, philosophy and history. I know that neuroscience is very heavy on chemistry/ physics and maths, but how hard will it be to catch up in first year?

Also to anyone that has a neuroscience degree, what kind of chemistry/ physics and maths should I focus on?

I have just finished my second year of BSc Neuroscience. It is much more biology focused rather than focused on chemistry and physics. The only chemistry and physics modules that I did were optional rather than compulsory (apart from biochemistry).

Can I ask you a few questions about the course? bc I am planning on studying it in September but I can't find much information online :/ How have you found the course? What's the level of difficulty like? I'm hoping to go to Exeter to study neuroscience as I loved the course but I think I might do a conversion course in psych after to have a career in brain imaging/clinical neuropsychology as I love psychology also. Would you say job prospects are limited?

I've really enjoyed the course. I would say it has been very intense but it is very manageable as long as you stay organised and on top of your work. The modules that I find the most interesting are always the easiest.

Funnily enough I am also going to apply for a conversion to psychology masters as thaI have realised that I want to pursue clinical neuropsychology and brain imaging. But I would say that if you definitely want a career in neuropsychology then I would 100% recommend you either doing BSc Psychology or BSc Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology because both of these give you the BPS accreditation that is required to pursue neuropsychology. BSc Neuroscience is a more appropriate degree for someone who wants to pursue neuroscience research.

Thank you so much! I was originally going to do a psych degree but got put off by how competitive it was but I also wanted to do something related to biomed and realised neuroscience is the perfect combination of them both!! I think I'm gonna stick to neuroscience because I want to keep my options open in science and I love the uni I'm hopefully going to. I'm also interested in pharmaceuticals and neurophysiology but will defo do psych modules. I personally don't think I will become a clinical neuropsychologist bc of the long process to get to that point but would love to work in that area, psychiatric research or brain imaging. I definitely want to do neuroscience but I am trying to find careers that don't involve me being in a lab 24/7 as a career.
