Is Psychology and Neuroscience a well recognised degreee?
I am thinking of studying Psychology and Neuroscience at university, or something similar, but am not sure if it is well recognised for future job opportunities or not. I am currently studying A-Levels; Maths, Further Maths, Psychology and Theatre Studies.
Graduate employers don't care what you studied unless for legal reasons you need a specific degree (e.g. healthcare professions, certain engineering roles etc).
You would probably typically be expected to have done biology and/or chemistry for neuroscience degrees.

Hi! Typically, you’d study psychology or neuroscience if you want to pursue being a psychologist or neuroscientist. these are great jobs. Your question, particularly the part “well-recognised degree” makes no sense; if you’re asking about whether a specific uni course is more widely known/competitive, we’d need to know the name of the uni.
Overall, if you find an interest in studying the brain and/or human behaviour, study either or at uni

Hi! Thanks for replying! I am aiming to study at Kings for their course "Neuroscience and Psychology" and there I think my A-Levels are suitable but do you think I will struggle having not studied Biology and/or Chemistry? The entry requirements do not need these two subjects.

Me too! From what I’ve heard there’s a lot of anatomy and research methods, I haven’t taken chemistry but I did do biology so we’ll see!

If they don't require it for that course then it should be fine as they won't expect it (although be aware: obviously there will be a fair bit of biology material in such a degree).
Whether this is true for other courses will vary though.
