      I don’t think you need to chose between the two. Zoology is a very broad subject, and will contain some neurobiology. When I went through Uni I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I just kept on choosing subjects that I enjoy and ended up finding a job that I enjoyed. I’m sure when you get to Uni you can do both subjects and you will probably discover what you enjoy most and do it!

      It’s difficult deciding what to do. Sean’s right. You can definitely study both at university. I studied zoology, plant biology and ecology at university.

      If you eventually wanted to get a job as a scientist, keep in mind that zoology is very competitive. Neurobiology is better funded and will become more and more important as our population becomes older.

      Both would be great as a career, do what you enjoy most in life.
