What is psychology at uni like? I'm doing AS and I love the subject so much and wish to go on and do it at uni next year (predicted A). I just wanna learn how everyone thinks!(Original post by RobertWhite)
Haha this is like Derren Brows thing. I could make up some complete **** like this and they'd probably try to relate it to themselves and agree with me.

Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?It's good, probably a popular degree for a lot of reasons.(Original post by BobbyBurke)

Which exam board are you on? do you do the one with 20 studies in your first year and then criminology/education in A2?
It's quite different at every uni and especially if it's either BA or Bsc. I do Bsc and there's a lot of physiology of human behaviour which I like the best. It's really interesting to see the biology behind psychology. A lot of the social psychology is very popular too which is quite a lot of what was done at A level. TBH first year is really easy too, a lot of it was what I did at A level. Maybe have a read of pop psychology book and see what you think. Have you looked into any Uni's? -
Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?Lol I bumped into an old friend the other day and she asked what I was planning to do and I said I'm looking at applying for graduate medicine and she looked blankly at me and said, "I copied off you in year 9 Science SATs and did crap" CHARMING!(Original post by stephen88)
I'm doing Medicine, I get:
"Ah cool, though what made you want to be nurse?"
Always makes me smile.

Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?Out of interest, what jobs are available in Literature? I am studying AS literature at the moment and was under the impression that jobs that relate to it are pretty scarce but I am probably wrong.(Original post by echeee)
"What're you going to do with that? Be a teacher?"
I'm going to do English Lit and Creative Writing.

Was thinking of Sheffield because I'm predicted AAB which suits the unis entry requirement.(Original post by Nutty_Psychologist)

I'm on the exam board AQA 'A' - this Wednesday I'm doing the psya1 exam - developmental and cognitive with research methods and the following Tuesday I have psya2 - biological, social and individual differences.
I'm confident for psya1 partly because I am brilliant at cognitive psychology and research methods however, I just need a little more developmental revision and then I'll be all prepped.
But I love psychology and wish to further study the subject providing I get an A with my AS exams.
Also, I'm pretty sure we don't do education and criminology in A2.
Glad to hear your enjoying psychology especially seeing as year 1 is slightly easier as this will allow more time for drinking

Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?Yeah it's different to what I did at A level. I couldn't remember what exam board I did at A level. TBH I had a module called biological, social and individual differences in second year so sounds like you will really enjoy it. I would say to maybe check it is accredited by the BPS if you are thinking in the future of going into being a chartered psychologist. I know it's only early days for you but it is something to take into consideration(Original post by BobbyBurke)

Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?
I's doing Zoology with Animal Behaviour (people tend to get bored before I get the whole thing out so I just say Zoology) and I ALWAYS get the response 'oh, so you want to be a zookeeper then? you don't need a degree to do that, do you?' >.< bleedy annoying let me tell you. Yes, I may be a zookeeper one day, but NO that is NOT why I'm taking a degree in Zoology >.<

Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?Are you bragging because you're proud of the quality of a law degree, or bragging because you'll have lots of free time from the easy degree?(Original post by tdkr)
for the ****ers who negged me, **** YOU HAHAHAHAH I DO LAWWW!!!!
It's hard to tell. -
Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?i'm not bragging at all, i said i did law in my first post and then i saw it was negged because someone on here is either trying to be funny or that they're somehow jealous..(Original post by Dan1909)

Re: After telling someone the degree you study, what is their response?There was no need for bragging, most law grads end up as law receptionists anyway-only the best will become lawyers/solicitors or barristers. Seriously, you need a reality check it's not that good of a degree!(Original post by tdkr)
