How much maths is there in a nueroscience degree (UK) ?

I'm very interested in nueroscience, and I would like to study the brain structure and how the nervous system functions ect. But I really don't like maths. I know that there would also be some stats involved.

Can someone tell me some of the maths or stats topic that come up while studying for a nueroscience degree in the UK? . Can someone also list a few maths topic I have to learn?

Hey,

Check out this thread on Quora:

This reddit thread (the OP in this reddit post says he's 'bad at maths' but in no way me selecting this post for you is suggesting that you are! Just thought this might be helpful!):

My advice would be to call up your chosen universities and enquire about the course content and about your query on the maths topics. Hopefully, they can help you out.

Best of luck :smile:
