Hi everyone,
I got my offer for a foundation year followed by Bioscience.. what I understood it will enable me join any of this long list of course https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/u...ses/2020/?s=BS that obviously doesn't include psychology course...
I am specifically after cognitive neuroscience and psychology (or just psychology)...
I also had an offer from Into which will enable me to proceed to psychology at Manchester.. since I am not yet determined which path (neuroscience vs psychology) I need some advice....

I am on the Cognitive Neuroscience and Psychology course at manchester currently, and there are a lot of people on my course who did the foundation year. The way it works is that the department (Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health) is split into the 3 compartments. CogNeuro & Psych falls under "Biology", and Psychology falls under "Health". Thats why you cant do a Psychology degree with a bioscience foundation. But, as I say, there are plenty of people on my course that did the foundation. There have also been a very small number of people who transferred from CogNeuro onto straight Psychology.
The CogNeuro course is 50/50 biology and psychology, which is great. However, dont underestimate the biology side. It easily takes up way more time than the psychology part. It is a very intense degree. For example, im in my second year, and we have a dissertation, biology lab report and a psychology essay all due in on the same week. The communication between biology and psychology isn't great, and there is a lot of conflict in getting things done.
Despite all of that, I really love my course. The community of students (50 of us in total) is great, we all know each other, and are all there for each other.
I'd be happy to answer questions about it, if you need anything.

Hey! I’m looking to take cognitive neuroscience and psychology as a degree, just wondering what career paths are available? Currently choosing between neuroscience and cog psych, I find both very interesting and can’t decide which one to take!
