SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on UK universities offering courses in Psychology and Neuroscience, particularly for students who have deferred their applications. Key institutions mentioned include King's College London, the University of Manchester, the University of Edinburgh, the University of York, the University of Oxford, and the University of Cambridge. It is noted that Neuroscience is typically part of Bio-medicine or Natural Sciences, with King's College being highlighted for its integration of Psychology and Neuroscience. The conversation also touches on the lack of interaction between these disciplines at the undergraduate level.

My daughter has had to defer university application for a year and switch to "Plan B". Can anyone recommend UK universities giving courses relating to Psychology and Neuroscience (together if possible)? Also any refererence/text books that would be useful as an introduction to similar course(s)?

My step-son will (hopefully) start a MSc program in Neuroscience in the autumn.

We (mainly) looked at King's, Manchester, Edinburgh, York, Oxford and Cambridge.
Neuroscience is usually part of Bio-medicine (or in the case of Oxbridge and York Natural Sciences) which is typically in a different department from psychology; I might be wrong but the only place where there seemed to be a definite linkto Psychology was King's. I don't think there is necessarily much interaction between the two subjects at the undergraduate level.

Thanks for the advice, I'll pass it on. My daughter has looked at Kings and did mention Bio-medicine. Good luck with the MSc!
