Awww. My brother got kind of the same, upset about leaving Edinburgh uni, and i think the city it self.

Hehe one more question then I’ll stop. Just been reading about biomedical science on here and is there any equivalent to an accredited course for neuroscience? Anything that makes me more likely to get a job is good :-p.

Thanks alot,
David

I have a feeling I'll be really sad when it comes to the end of uni really, but I think I'd be more sad about my friends leaving. Since I'm restarting my first year, all but one of my friends will be graduating a year before me - uni wouldn't be quite the same without them :redface:

and especially my bf, whom I'm just gonna assume for now that we're still together by then. Either way it'll be strange without him cus he's like my best friend too. Even when I go up to Notts now I can picture myself walking with one of my friends and knowing they're not here... it's strange.

Anyway, to your question - an equivalent course to Neuroscience? What do you mean? To be fair, with *just* BSc Neuroscience, you're not likely to be able to do a whole lot. That's my guess anyway. You can go into research. I don't know if you need Medicine or a PhD for becoming a Neurologist - I never looked into it. I can't think of anything else that links directly with Neuroscience? An equivalent course - do you mean a course that teaches you basically the same things but more? At best I'd go for a joint honours - I think Nottingham does Neuroscience and Biochemistry, and Neuroscience and Pharmacology - or something. Those came in after I'd applied so they could be non-existent for all I know :biggrin:

but maybe something like that? Very related courses, you get both in one, so by definition you'd be better off I'd imagine. Or like my sister's course, Neuroscience with Psychology.

I wouldn't go for Biomedical Sciences personally. Cus if they basically learn everything a medic learns but don't qualify as doctors, and they basically know a bit of everything but not all of anything - then what have they got that someone else hasn't? I'm sure there're advantages that come with knowing a bit of everything - you'd probably get a post where you gotta know a bit of everything, but you'd probably never be in charge cus you're not specialised in anything. That's just my view anyway. Neuroscience is pretty good in that it's actually pretty diverse - at first anyway :biggrin:

and then you specialise.

Anyway, explain what you mean by an equivalent course to Neuroscience...? :confused:

Well for biomedical sciences some courses are accredited by the IBMS (institute for biomedical science(http://www.ibms.org/index.cfm?method=education_and_careers.biomedical_science_courses) ).
I think it means that the IBMS says that the uni teaches everything that you need to know so you can work in NHS and other companies like it.

Was wondering if there was anyone who did accreditation for Neurosciences courses or if such a thing exists lol. :confused:
