I'm aiming for the BA/BSc Combined Social Sciences, after one more TMA I will get the Certificate of Higher Education in Social Sciences.(Original post by karren)

Re: open university starting with psychologywould you recommend the course then I am hoping to do some sort of mental health in the future. what is it you do now ? did you do any other studies with the OU.(Original post by GreatUnderachiever)
I done this course it's allright.
Just know for yourself you need an MA to specialise in Psychology or a PhD if you want to be a general psychologist. A BA is not enough these days. -

Re: open university starting with psychologyTake a look at some of the suggested pathways, especially the mental health one, of the Health and Social Care degree. As you're an existing student you don't have to follow them exactly and you don't have to complete a degree but they are a good guide.(Original post by karren)
