Dear Network, I am delighted to share that I have received an offer to undertake an intercalated BSc in Neuroscience at UCL for the 2026/27 academic year. Following my study of Neuroscience and Behaviour during my second year of medical school, I developed a strong interest in the complexities of the brain and its role in health and disease, particularly in paediatric populations. I am therefore incredibly excited to further deepen my understanding and to learn from internationally recognised leaders in neuroscience research at one of the world’s leading institutions. I am especially grateful to have secured my first-choice iBSc programme and look forward to the academic and research opportunities the year will bring. Thank you and I hope you have a wonderful week! Yameena
