I think methods may be beyond my ability, and I'm not interested in doing further but I hear it's worthwhile to have done a math. Is this true?

Also, how can you study neuroscience in Australia and does the course require have a prerequisite?

You can do it through the bachelor of science at the university of melbourne, but it does require methods yeah.
2012-2014. BSc: Neuroscience. University of Melbourne.
2015-2018. Doctor of Optometry. University of Melbourne.

Unlikely to respond to any PMs these days.

All universities (as far as i know) should offer something neurosciencey under their physiology or neuroscience banners.

Here is the link to monash's physiology course which includes neuro - http://www.med.monash.edu.au/physiology/teaching/ .

I'm sure you can find the same for other uni's.

The BSc at monash doesn't require methods. AFAIK Biomed at Melbourne + Monash and BSc at UoM do require methods though.

As someone who has been there, if you don't like methods, dont feel a passion for it or its just plain distasteful for you, i'd drop that as fast as you can. There is no point staying on a sinking ship to go down with it. I stuck with methods, in the end didn't need it and it was a horrible slog for those two years as well when i could of otherwise chose something i actually was interested in.

I don't think its particularly worth while to of done a math. It might help somewhat but i haven't seen many courses that have further as a prereq, so, its more for yourself than for entrance purposes.

As for neuroscience, its interesting, thats great. There aren't exactly tonnes of jobs floating around though, so, something worth thinking about perhaps.
