Is a B.Sc-PCM student eligible to do M.Sc in Neuroscience?

AI Thread Summary
A B.Sc student in Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics can pursue an M.Sc in Neuroscience, as the field welcomes candidates from diverse academic backgrounds. The eligibility criteria vary by program, so it's essential to research specific institutions and their admission requirements. Key considerations include whether the program requires standardized tests like the GRE and what scholarships are available. For practical study of the brain, students may also explore related courses outside of neuroscience. Engaging directly with university departments can provide clarity on specific questions and financial assistance options.

I am a PCM (Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics) B.Sc student. Will I be eligible to study M.Sc in Neuroscience? What is the scope of the subject? What are the best places to study? What are the scholarships I can look for? Which exams should I write?

I want to have practical study of brain, are there other courses (except the one mentioned above) suitable for me?

Thank you.

Hi Vinay080,

I'm not an expert in neuroscience although I have done some work with neuroscientists. What I know is that neuroscience is a fairly broad field and so they can take candidates from a number of different disciplines, although the details are likely to vary from program to program and even project to project.

Your first step should be to search out a few institutions that are doing work that you're interested in. Every program should post admission requirements somewhere. There it will be clear which programs require the GRE, for example, and what kind of financial assistance is possible. And then, if you have further specific questions, just email the department.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
