AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding UK universities that offer courses in Psychology and Neuroscience, particularly those that combine both disciplines. Key universities mentioned include King's College London, Manchester, Edinburgh, York, Oxford, and Cambridge. It is noted that Neuroscience is often part of Biomedicine or Natural Sciences at these institutions, which may limit direct interaction with Psychology at the undergraduate level. King's College is highlighted as having a more integrated approach between the two fields. Additionally, there is a request for recommendations on introductory reference or textbooks related to these subjects, as the step-son is preparing to start a Master's program in Neuroscience.

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!
 

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
