A bachelor's degree in biopsychology is considered good preparation for medical school. In addition, many people with a degree in biopsychology go on to graduate study in neuroscience, clinical psychology, animal behavior, and advanced study in biopsychology.

Biopsychology is sometimes called psychobiology.

The graduate program is very much about research. You are encouraged to do independent research, even during your first year. This helps teach you important skills you need to know to work in this field. It gives you ideas for your dissertation research, to come later. And, if you can get your results published, it adds to your resume.
