neuroscience without biology a level

can I study neuroscience without biology a level? (my a levels are chem, physics and maths) Would I be lost in the course having not done bio a level?

I'd say you're best looking at the entry requirements of the unis you'd look at applying at.

Some may offer a foundation year where you'd cover some of the biology content you've missed by not completing the a level x

based purely off of my own interest in the course, I think technically yes you can get into the course without neuroscience (depending on the uni some require biology, some need either biology or chemistry I think) although again based off my own research into the courses a lot of the more basic stuff is covered within biology A-level (like the structure and function of the nervous system) so you'd be behind others who did take biology at a level.

but yes - like above you're best looking at entry requirements/foundation years and even asking students who study the course!
