How Do I Become A Brain Surgeon?

I'm in year 11 so haven't even taken my A-levels yet but I'm very focused on my future!!! I've always been interested in the brain and I have a great interest in surgery. I want to become a brain Surgeon and we had a careers fair at school but no one was very helpful on advising me on how to become one!! I need to know what A levels to take when I go to collage!! I wondered if there was anyone thinking of becoming a brain surgeon currently at collage or even Uni that's been through the process and could advice me on the next steps!? :biggrin:

Amazing, thank you!!

you need to do a degree in medicine first, and then specialise :smile:

a levels should be mostly science orientated!

i’m in year 10 looking to study medicine and possibly become a surgeon :yep:
One step at a time.
Focus on getting into medical school first.

Focus on doing the best you can for your GCSE's and then you would need to consider doing medicine at university, to start it off :smile:
But right now, your GCSE's are more important than anything. However it is good you are focused
