Given that I have limited time before submitting my UCAS application in October, would you invest that time in learning Python?
I'm applying for undergraduate Neuroscience (/Experimental Psychology at Oxford) programmes and want to make the best use of the months I have left. If you think Python is worth prioritising, would you recommend focusing on a recognised course or certification, or would it be more valuable to build one or two small independent projects that demonstrate practical skills? I'd also appreciate recommendations for courses or certifications that you think would genuinely strengthen a competitive UCAS application, rather than simply adding another certificate.
Which countries would you recommend for someone aiming for a long-term research career in neuroscience?
My goal is to become a researcher, not a clinician, and I'm looking for undergraduate programmes in English that provide a strong foundation for a future PhD and an academic career. Beyond rankings, which countries do you think offer the best environment for training future neuroscience researchers? Would you still consider the UK one of the best choices today, especially given how quickly AI is changing biomedical research? Additional information At the moment, the UK is my first choice because of its undergraduate Neuroscience degrees. I'm also open to countries such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany or the Nordic countries. In Italy, I've mostly ruled out studying, except for universities like Trento or Pavia, as I haven't found programmes that fit what I'm’m looking for. Do you think that's a sensible approach, or should I reconsider Italy or other countries?

Law School : is it that hard as people say?
I want to become a lawyer as part as my career (alongside becoming a high fashion, runway model and an actress) as it will provide a stable income, it is a career in which I can be challenged at and I would like to help people by stating my case. However, what is really putting me off is the fact that people put online how hard it is and how they find it extremely hard to do. I am a motivated, determined student (currently in year 10) and I have been always getting high grades. I will be, of course, up to the challenge but is it extremely hard as people make it out to be? Please advise! Thank you. #law #career #Oxford #Cambridge #lawyer
