Hello there,

I am currently a third year English Literature & Linguistics student and I am looking to do a Masters in Cognitive Neuroscience next year. However, I fear that my joint degree with English Literature will harm my chances to be accepted into a good university for this program. Do you have any advice on what I can do over the course of the next few months to improve my CV and thus my chances on getting into such a program?

I already got into King's College summer school for a program called "Education & Neuroscience" (hopefully they'll be able to open it!!!!). I also took a class at uni which gave me a basic overview of neuroscience (the disciplines and interesting aspects of the brain) and I am currently doing an online coursera course in "medical neuroscience". I still have lots of time on my hands during summer and I want to do something to help me improve my knowledge in this field. Is there something like an "internship" I could do at a university, e.g. help lecturers with their research or something like this? What suggestions do you guys have?
