I am so happy to hear that it is more essay based because I love love love writing essays especially about any knowledge behind something I am extremely interested in. I have a very good feeling for when I head off to university! Thanks for the tips I am very thankful :)
Im a Psych B/S major and im considering switching into neuroscience instead of just getting a minor in it. I love anatomy and biology, and I feel like psych just doesn't have enough. Im in my first semester of my sophomore year and I'm going to finalize soon. Your videos are so helpful and bc of them I may actually take the leap and go into neuroscience
Psych major here. If you want to transition into more neuroscience, I suggest looking into some neuroscientific psychology-type masters, for example, cognitive, affective or behavioural neuroscience. I did my BS in psych and I am currently doing an MS in behavioural neuroscience. My end goal is still to work in the psychology field (PhD/PsyD in clinical psychology or clinical neuropsychology) but I am aware that the path I have taken can also lead me to a career in neuroscience if I wanted to. So that might be something you could look into.
Hiii, i`m from Brazil, actually I'm a biomedical research (biomedicine) graduate student. I met you through Instagram and I just want to thank u for inspiring me so much to study neuroscience, molecular biology, genetics and so much more.!!! love you
This is sooo good and informative!!! Thank you!! Gives me less anxiety about next year in uni! If you could share how you organise your reading papers that would be so useful thank you
Ahh I am glad you enjoyed! I have a video on my channel about how I organise my papers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vKXNbVx8dKw.html :)
I dont' know how she signed up for a degree but everything she didn't expect is what I hope to get in my neur oscience degree xD. I am so satisfied right now. Like hell yes this is exactly what I want! I need to sign up right now!!!
@@tamraah you can your bachelor in neuroscience then go for masters in neuroscience then go for PhD There some good clg like iisc bangalore iiser nbrc jiwaji university etc
Thank you for your video! 😊I would like to do a master's degree in neuroscience, and I do now a bachelor in biology (a ''licence'' in France). I will doing this yeah an internship in neuroscience, and I also think we don't work a lot in the lab in comparison to other field of biology, i will just doing some behavioral studies.
Omg, thank you!!! I've not expected this much from neuroscience, but it's okay for us nerds🤓 I'd like to see your thoughts about how to prepare for undergrad neuroscience, I want to get some extracurriculars for my university application, but still don't know what to do exactly.
I just got accepted into a fairly high profile university in my state using nothing but cross country, chem club, environmental club, and a 1380 SAT. You don’t need insane scores to get in to decent unis. Just make sure your essays are good
This was a really fantastic video, thank you. I'm wondering if you wouldn't mind talking more about essay-based exams in another video, please? I'm terrified of those types of exams and generally still experience brain freeze and don't know what to write, but also don't quite know how to prepare in the way you eventually learned to. I find that I spend way too much time thinking of the best way to phrase things, such that not much actually gets written down. Thanks a lot :)
If this can help you, to write something the most of the times I imagine I'm explaining some subject to someone in doubt. Alone with them. Not to an audience. For exemp: you don't know how to create an facebook account. I will explain step by step to you.
I'm a high school student going into sixth form next year! You have massively inspired me to see through this concept of neuroscience. If I want to peruse the major, which A level subjects do you think would prepare me or gives me a higher chance to be accepted into this course?
Chemistry and biology, then math, higher maths, physics or psych! From the unis I’ve looked at you need AAB/AAA (776/777) grades and 7s in gcse chem and bio too :)
Hi!! I also killed not one but 3 tadpoles when doing locomotor practical (we had to cut midbrain from the forebrain) and I thought it’s just me and my shaky hands but it made me feel soo good you actually did it as well. Also I’m obsessed with your channel btw!
I'm studying psychology for my graduation course and I'm not sure if i can pursue neuroscience later on, many unis accept psychology graduates for MSc neuroscience but I'm not sure if it's a good idea. I feel like I'll know a lot less than people who graduated in neuroscience and it scares me a little :(
I am currently applying for some neuroscience master programs across the world. I am struggling to find relatively cheap or free programs as a low-income student. I would be so grateful if anyone can check my letter of intent or suggest me some universities to help me increase my chance of acceptance in any possible way. Sincerely...
Hey guys Im currently a sophomore in high school. Currrently I only have background in computer science and don’t know if should switch to learning about bio/nuero ( not sure if it is too late now). Is there anything you guys may suggest doing /learning to see if I actually like the field or not ?
Hi Julia, i am preparing to study neuroscience in the future and i want to start to read some paper before that. Which journal would you recommend to read papers from?
are there neuro subtypes that don't require chemistry? I am good at everything but chemistry, chemistry has been the bane of my existence no matter how much I try to conquer it *sobs*
Amazing channel! I love how you are explaining everything and how good and detailed are your tips and information. I'm in my foundation year studying Criminology and Psychology and I'm also fascinated by neuroscience and started to teach-myself at least the basics. I was wondering if there is a chance to keep up and be admitted for a Masters degree or even PhD evevn though I'm studying something different? (if, of course, during my undergrad I will take extra courses on the modules required for a neuroscience undergrad and doing parallel research). You are wonderful!🤗 Thanks for sharing your experiences!
@@juliaraveyscience is a bachelor in psychology then moving to masters for neuroscience a viable option? that's what i think i'm going to do (due to no hard sciences for my A-levels) but it seems as if this will leave me at some competitive disadvantage in the field due to a lack of time studying neuroscience relative to others
Thanks for the info. I am currently picking my subjects for undergrad and I wanna go for genetics so biology and biotechnology seems like a better choice. On the side i am learning programming too. I am pretty interested in neurology so I want to pursue genetics and neuoscience altogether. Is it a possibility? If I do not major in neuroscience but study from other sources like web and books to get that knowledge, is it practical?
Do you get to do much lab work when you're practicing as a neuroscientist? With body fluids? Or is it mainly imaging? I am super into lab work, and after doing lots of investigation and feeling like maybe there isn't enough lab work to keep me happy...
Hi there 👋🏻 I want to ask a question about neuroscience can I study microbiology for bachelors degree and then study neuroscience for masters degree? Please help me out about this if you have information . 🙏🏻
I sounds like you had a much better education. My neuroscience degree at Ohio State University in America was little more than an overview of what other people know. It seems like the degree only exists to fund their departments. ZERO hands on. I definitely didn't learn how to be a neuroscientist at all. I even had one instructor who told me to turn in the practice exam for a grade (a different exam than everyone else) because he didn't want me coming in to office hours anymore.
First of all, thank you very much for this video. I am molecular biology and genetics third year student. I still haven't decided on the field that I want to study. I want to ask that am I too late to study neuroscience?
Hi! Thank you so much for your video it's really helped me, I just wanted to ask how demanding is a neuroscience degree? Would I be able to work alongside the degree?
this is so great! thank you! I'm interested in studying psychopathy where it overlaps in neuroscience. Would you think I should get a psychology degree first or biology? or a specialized program? (if those exist...)
If you want to study how psychopathy overlaps with neuroscience, the field you'd be really interested in would be neuropsychology. I don't know if that is offered as an undergrad degree, but I know it is as a masters. I know this is a late reply but I'll reply anyways in case someone new reads this, but as for choosing between psych or bio, that's difficult. If you pick bio, you might not cover too much actual neuroscience, as I know its hugely broad. You'll be studying other topics like ecosystems, biochemistry, ethology, micro organisms, plants and animals, and I highly doubt any psychological topics like psychopathy will be covered (in any great detail at least). If you pick psych, you will cover the basics of neuroscience, and you will cover stuff related to psychopathy like neuropsychology and clinical psychology. But again, there will be topics irrelevant to your interests, like psycholinguistics, social psych, I/O psych, forensic psych, etc.
Would you know how an associates degree in biomedical equipment technology would help one attain a neuroscience degree. I noticed you mentioned biomedical students in your video, and I'm currently one of them. Basically, what role, if any, would having such a degree in biomedical equipment technology help one in attaining a bachelor's in neuroscience?
Would you recommend neuroscience. I am standing between the decision of neuroscience and medicine. But I just consider Medicine, because I would have more Job opportunities and some, which are close to the neuroscience job opportunities.
I chose medicine. I think u have a wider stance and still space to redecide and go in another differnt direction, like a psychiatrist or even work in research like a neuroscientist
A transparent and thorough, thank you for the realistic information! Do you think it is possible at or after 30 y/o to join the field? My bachelor's was in Fine Art, with a focus on digital design (3d printing/rendering) as well as universal/applicable design. Critiques and essays were the bread and butter of the program it seemed, so essay tests don't seem quite so daunting. A lot of concepts I've been able to utilize in teaching; working visually to ensure a broad spectrum of students understand as well as impromptu changes as needed when things just don't work. From my understanding, the jump shouldn't be soo great and many things would actually be really helpful.. Do you have any insight from the inside? Of course schools and experiences will vary from person to person, but wondering if it's a realistic endeavor to pursue.
Hi Thank you for the variety of info. Just need to know given that you are in UK..how are the job opportunities in this field? As I am planning to take up the same next year after high school.
Hi, I’ve just landed in your channel and found all this info super useful! One question: in which university did you study? I think each one has a different curriculum for neuroscience, especially because it is a very new field, so I’d like to know yours as you seem to have a lot of knowledge about the subject
@@juliaraveyscience Thank you. You are kind. I figured out a little late what I want. Understanding issues revolving around brain and consciousness is of great importance. Plus I encountered Andy Clark: Surfing Uncertainty few years back, which made a huge difference.
