What are neuroscientists interested in?

A neuroscientist is curious about how the brain works. They study the brain and then try to solve questions using scientific experiments. Some neuroscientists specialize in a certain field of study, such as neurological disorders or the impact injury has on the brain.

What subject does neuroscience fall under?

Neuroscience has traditionally been classed as a subdivision of biology. These days, it is an interdisciplinary science which liaises closely with other disciplines, such as mathematics, linguistics, engineering, computer science, chemistry, philosophy, psychology, and medicine.

What can you do with clinical neuroscience?

People who study neuroscience can go on to have careers in:

• Academia – research and teaching.
• Clinical sciences.
• Biotechnology and contract research.
• Pharmaceutical industry.
• Neuropsychology and psychiatry.
• Regulatory affairs, policy and research administration.
• Academic organisation and administration.

What do you need for Neuroscience?

A neuroscientist is typically a research scientist. The traditional career route would involve a science undergraduate degree followed by a PhD. No clinical practice or clinical qualifications are required. Neurologists and neurosurgeons are both medical specialities.

What should I study to become a neuroscientist?

You are required to complete 10+2 in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Further, you may enroll in B.Sc. in Neuroscience, Neurophysiology, Biology, Human Anatomy or any other related branch. Similarly, after completion of a bachelor’s degree individuals can opt for a master’s in related subjects.

What grades do I need to study neuroscience?

We require grades A*AA-ABB, including two of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics (the Core Sciences ). You must have a minimum of grades AB in at least two Core Sciences and pass the practical assessments in these subjects.
