What students say about neuroscience

The best aspects of the University of Southampton is the great opportunities, e.g. societies and guest talks. I love going sailing on the Solent every other week and frequently running around the beautiful common. Similarly, new guest come to talk about their roles and how to get into their roles which is very beneficial for career development. There are no bad aspects that I have experienced so far.

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

What students say about neuroscience

Campus life is engaging and fun if you're active; lots of choices of sports and social clubs. 3sixty club in campus is also one of best student clubbing experience I've had in the UK. Library is chic and comfortable with sufficient study spaces and books / online resource. Course content is interesting and inspiring but coursework is indeed demanding (if you are a good and hardworking student). Tutoring hours is not quite enough and most of the time you are expected to guide yourself through module content and problem solving. Disabilities support is available and of easy access but they could be reluctant to provided further assistance to students suffering from severe conditions or sudden accidents, and this could impact your studies to a large degree. However, if you are a healthy student with normal social life, it is not that difficult to graduate with a 2:1 or 1st with a bit of hard work whilst enjoying uni life.

What students say about neuroscience

I love the campus and the atmosphere we have. its a beautiful place to study and i have enjoyed my time here. All the staff are wonderful, I have a brilliant supervisors and enjoy my course. I have learnt a lot whilst at Lancaster However, i find that the student union is broken, it does not uphold its own beliefs. The societies may work but the actual student union body is useless. it needs and overhall, and needs attention brought to the actions of the staff and how people follow their regulations.

The best aspects of my University are that it has a great location, which is very accessible. It also offers a lot of opportunities, such as travelling abroad and careers. The worst aspects would be the signal and the Wi-Fi.

The admin side of things is usually very smooth and the student support is wonderful. I’d like if the SU had a wider range of societies, and occasionally individual classes aren’t run quite as smoothly.

What students say about neuroscience

Supportive learning environment, approachable staff, and strong sense of community among students. The facilities and resources make it easy to focus and succeed, and there are plenty of opportunities for both academic and personal growth. One area for improvement could be increasing access to practical learning opportunities such as internships, workshops, or real-world projects.

Best experience has to be Keele hall it’s beautiful in all seasons to go to especially in summer there’s no other uni that can offer that For nursing the teaching facilities are great theirs no other facilities you would need to study The student union are always their with support so you will never feel on your own Worst probably the night life just wish their was less nights out but better produced maybe that would attract more people Also I have seen the graduations that take place in January and their not as well produced as the summer ones which is a shame makes us feel a little bit under appreciated

Best aspect is the wonderful array of societies and extra curricular activities on campus, including my personal favourite Musicality! Worst part is probably the obscene charge for student card replacements, mine was stolen and I was still asked to pay £15!

Studying neuroscience

During a neuroscience degree, you’ll learn about the anatomy, development and function of the brain and nervous system, and how they affect the behaviours and emotions of human beings. You’ll likely touch upon topics like brain dysfunctions and conditions, addictive behaviour, cell biology and the sensory system, picking up industry-specific skills in the lab, as well as data handling techniques. Neuroscience graduates commonly go into further study or research roles, but other possible job opportunities include working towards becoming a neurologist, neuroscientist, clinical psychologist and science writer or lecturer. If you want to study a challenging degree which can lead to a lucrative and respected career, neuroscience might be for you.
