Letter from an Undergraduate

I loved my time studying PBS at Cambridge. The course offered so many exciting opportunities to learn from leading researchers and academics across so many different areas of Psychology. Having specialised in neuroscience in second year, I had the opportunity to join the Adaptive Brain Lab for a summer neuroscience internship, and continued exploring these interests through advanced third-year papers. The third-year project was also a great chance to experience conducting real research: after spending a year with the CBU (Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit), my project will soon be sent for journal submission! There are so many exciting and varied opportunities that came from studying PBS. Having decided to pursue a career in genetic medicine after hearing about it in a third-year lecture, I will be continuing at Cambridge to complete a postgraduate certificate in genomic medicine, while also working as a research assistant on a genetics trial with the lecturer who inspired the career path!

Best wishes,
Alice Bould
