second year KCL student here! 😊 so I'm technically on the Biomedical Science BSc but I'm specialising in Neuroscience (just allowed me to pick all my modules without having to take some of the compulsory ones I didn't want lol) and I believe the process is pretty much the same! certainly the just-neuroscience course runs the same as it's the same faculty and we have the same first year modules and most of my second/third year modules
firstly, the admissions process was pretty straightforward! no interviews or anything, and I'm not sure of the exact weighting but it definitely takes both your personal statement and your a-levels into account -- I don't think my personal statement was that great, but I had high predicted grades 😅
in terms of what kcl is like, I'm pretty happy here! It was my first choice uni when I applied because of the total flexibility of my course and idk just something about it I really liked. As a neuro student you'll be on guy's campus, or neuro and psych is on Denmark hill which I haven't been to yet but will next year, which are science campuses in pretty much central London (DH is a bit further away) and the atmosphere is pretty chill and friendly. Especially when it's good weather, maybe it's just me but it's just such a good vibe. There are also a ton of student societies for pretty much every interest that are either free or pretty cheap to be part of, and it's also (in my experience) very lgbtq+-friendly if that's something that applies 😊
On the neuroscience only course, you have what's called the Common Year One in first year, which is where all the courses that fall under the School of Bioscience (Biomed, neuro, pharmacology, anatomy and suchlike) do the same set of 8 modules that cover biochemistry, anatomy, genetics, pharmacology, physiology, cell biology and a smidge of neuroscience, and then the course gets neuro-specific in second and third year. whereas I've seen that the first year in the neuro and psych course is very psych-heavy, and then it's a mix of both -- a lot of the optional modules I've seen for that course are actually ones I've done or am doing!

In my experience, the workload isn't too bad on a week-by-week basis, as you generally only get set work for tutorials and workshops, which usually expect you to complete the questions beforehand. otherwise, it's pretty much just self-study so up to the individual. I'm not sure if they're different for the neuro+psych course but my lectures are usually an hour long, though you often get them back to back. How modules run in second year (at least amongst the Bioscience faculty) is that they each run one day of the week, and you'll have lectures in the morning and then practicals/tutorials/workshops after lunch. I won't lie, lecturers are a bit of a mixed bag - you get some great ones and also some terrible ones lol. But, either way on neuro or neuro/psych, you'll get to have Dr Clemens Kiecker who runs a lot of neuro modules and is widely regarded amongst like half my year group to be an absolute legend of a lecturer. A lot of the neuro lecturers are pretty good
The only real downside I've had at king's is that admin is not always the best --- my personal tutor, for instance, is supposed to contact me at least once a term and we've spoken like twice the whole time I've been here 😅🥲 we also had a ton of timetabling issues this year. on the whole, it's not too bad though
I hope this helps, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!! I'll be happy to answer anything I can
