That is why it is more difficult. Your not just playing with numbers, your playing with numbers that have been applied to complicated situations.

But then maths can be hard, if I get asked to do anything with trig again in my life, it'll be too soon. Then again if we were to ask a mathematician to calculate the pH of ethanoic acid knowing only pKa and the concentration, I think they'd moan.

Neuroscience probably takes more understanding, but Medicine probably has a lot more rote learning. Hard in their own ways.

Then again, I have done neither of them, so my opinion (like that of 99% of people on this thread) is useless :tongue:

Amazing sig.


@OP Medicine I think. Workload is so heavy.

I was talking to a foundation year doctor who did neuroscience then post graduate medicine, she said she found neuroscience more difficult.

That could however be that she did neuroscience first and then had some of the knowledge for medicine already because there's bound to be some of the grounding that uses similar information. If she'd have done it the other way round it may not have been the same.

Yeah I was thinking that, but then on that basis it would be impossible for anybody to compare the two.
My first degree was essentially neuroscience. I'm finding medical school to be much more hard work.

Psychology, but I studied cell and molecular neuroscience, cog neurosci, neuropsych etc etc and attended labs with the biomeds doing neurosci.

That dog in your sig is awesome I can't stop looking at it's face. :awesome:


I always thought it was Natural Sciences at Cambridge for example, like doing 3 degrees in 1 year.
