Can I Pursue a Master's in Neuroscience After a Biomedical Science Degree?

Hi everyone, I'm entering my 3rd year of a Biomedical Science degree but have realized I want to pursue neuroscience instead of becoming a biomedical scientist. Is it possible to get into a master's program in Neuroscience with my background? What steps can I take to strengthen my application? I have good grades and some relevant extracurricular activities, like research projects and volunteering. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
