Psychology, BSc Hons FullTime

Throughout this course you get to learn about several different areas of Psychology such as personality and health, social, developmental, biological and cognitive. The modules and teaching staff are very organised and make the assignment brief available very early. In 2nd and 3rd years, you get to choose an optional module which is good. The staff are very supportive and approachable.

May be due to covid but the previous year has been awful. £9,250 to sit in front of a screen in your bedroom with 0 real support. Had an issue which meant I had to start the year later and was expected to jump straight in whilst also catching back up during group projects with no real explanation as what I need to be doing and how read more

Currently, with everything online, value for money isn’t at its highest, but when everything goes back to semi normal again and face to face lectures can return then its 100% worth it. I’ve met some of the most amazing people doing this course. read more
