Philosophy and Psychology, MA Hons FullTime

Doing this as a joint degree is a good option as the psychology component is accredited. Can be a lot of reading at times, and deadlines often clash between both courses (I had five assessments in under two weeks) but it pays off. Tutors for both courses are normally really great. I would say if you haven't studied a lot of philosophy in school/college it's a hard transition and the standard of essays is high but because of the feedback improvement comes easier. Only downside is the philosophy department participates in a lot more strikes than the psychology department. Psychology is truly stats heavy though, so if maths isn't a strong point it might be a bit more difficult to keep on top of it but some of the tutors are really great at making stats lectures engaging. Psychology stats tutorials are some of the most fun ones though (if you like data). read more

Overall I’m very happy with the psychology course, it is very engaging and has a good level of depth and challenges your ability at a level that is attainable. I think the economics course is not as enjoyable or accessible. The teaching quality isn’t great and the management it’s very good. read more

Anthropology and Psychology, MA Hons FullTime

Was supposed to have 2 personal tutors and 1 advisor of studies over a 2 year period, and they were each meant to see you 3-4 times a year. I saw one of them once, and they never replied to my emails, even when I was asking for advice due to wanting to transfer/ leave. According to one Dr, the staff despised having to do more work for no extra pay. No value for money. They spend your fees on sports equipment instead, most of the lecturers read from 10 year old power point presentations and called that teaching. read more
