so confused, Selecting degree choice KCL or QMUL

I have 2 offers Bsc in global health and social medicine at KCL or BSC neuroscience at qmul, it’s a hard choice, i have a mostly science background.

I think i can become a qualified persons with only the neuroscience degree…not sure if the kcl qualifies for this…any students know if this is case?

Both are great unis but the courses are very different. Where do you want to go long term with your career? The global heath degree may lead you to working for the UN or a charity in that field. Is that where you want to go. Neuroscience is a specialist science degree forcing you to follow that route further with a masters or PhD.

Both are great STEM degrees which will get you a job as a trainee accountant or a job on a grad scheme.

'Qualified person'? A degree in Neuro is not a professional qualification - its not a prerequisite for any career. And there are thousands of career possibilities that don't need a Masters of PhD etc - Neuroscientist job profile | Prospects.ac.uk
