Good uni's for psychology?

I only have a C grade GCSE maths, so please don't suggest any that ask for a B

I've been to Birmingham, Lincoln and Sheffield. I didn't like Sheffield much, and I'm due to visit Keele soon.

I want to stay close to Manchester, but I wouldn't mind going to Wales

I'm looking at doing psychology (applying in Sept so for the 2015/16 year) and my narrowed down choices so far are Birmingham, Lincoln, Keele and Swansea! So 3/4 are where you are looking at! haha I missed Birmingham open day because it was the same day as Swansea so I'm going to the september one, and I'm going to the Keele open day on 17th august
Did you like the look of Birmingham?
I'm wanting to do Psychology and Criminology but Birmingham doesn't offer that as an acredited course but I liked the look of the psychology so I might apply if I like the look of it at the open day
Based on the fact you've looked at other similar ones to me you might like Swansea But what drew me to Swansea was the established Psychology and Criminology course as in I wouldn't be picking to do the two together but it's a course if you get what I mean? But the psychology talk was good so you might be interested in it?
For just Psychology Birmingham is high in the rankings and so are Cardiff and York

I loved Birmingham! Have a look at it

I'm going to Keele that day too! And what's Swansea like? Is the accommodation far from the campus? Is it a camps uni? Tell me everything

haha I liked the location of Swansea because even though I'm not a beachy person it was right by the beach like literally walk out of the campus cross the road and you're on the beach! It was really nice! I felt that even though it was a campus it wasn't too isolated but not right in the town. The sports facilities are just off campus, like a 5 mins walk but even though they are shared with the public they were excellent facilities (there's Wales national 50m swimming pool)

There's on site accommodation as well as a student village. I personally didn't like the village (regardless that I want to live on campus) I just didn't like the feel of it, it was older (not in a nice, characteristic way!) and apparently most of them are being knocked down anyway?! On the side of wanting to live on campus, they weren't unrealistically far away, but just not the uni idea that I have in my mind You can get a bus thing for £400 a year I think? Something like that and it did make it a lot cheaper and would be good for travelling else where, so it would be a bonus to have that and have an extra use to it. My dad and I walked back to the campus at quite a fast pace and I think it was about 20 mins so I'd say you'd probably want to cycle or get the bus for morning lectures! But the accomodation on the campus was nice I liked the mix of en-suite and standard. I personally am thinking I would like an en-suite one but at some of the other unis they've been a bit too flash, like I only want it because I want to be able to go the loo without having to worry that they'll be taken! So I don't really want to waste my money and the bathroom was basic but just what I was looking for which was good I would say the accomdation was close to the psychology area as well which is always good The lecturer said that those who lived on campus usually turned up to morning lectures in their onesies
We didn't get to see Swansea itself but it seemed okay The only thing that is a negative for me is that the library didn't really stand out like others have but that could be because there wasn't really a tour or anything so maybe it's bigger than it seemed, and really at the end of the day as long as it has books and tables it's a library
Sorry for the long winded answer, tried to fit everything I could think in

Ooooooo! Think I'll go the next open day, if they still have one hahaha
Have you thought about UCLAN? I'm unsure if it's a "good" uni or not

How come you don't want to live on campus?

Just looked it up for you, it says the next one is Saturday 11th October...
Sorry just read back and realised I contradicted my opinion on accomodation cos I put it wrong in one sentence haha I DO want to live on campus so reading it back just so you know the student village is the one that's away. Also for the year we go, there's going to be a new campus (I think it's for science students? won't affect psychology anyway) which I hope means there's less students wanting the current accomodation is you get what I mean?
I haven't really looked at UCLAN, I'd kinda given up looking at unis until results hahaha I thought I have plenty of time after to start looking again and confirming my thoughts

I've now got a B at GCSE

Cardiff is great for Psychology

I love my course, and you get pleanty of opportunities for research/ clinical internships.
The professional placement year is also really good, you get so much support with it and so many options.


If you have any questions let me know

Hi, I'm hoping to study Psychology at uni in 2015 and I think Cardiff is going to be my first choice mainly due to it having a placement year! So I'm just wondering, how do you go about choosing the placement? Or is it pre-planned by the lecturers? Also, what is the syllabus like? And is there a library open 24 hours?

Thank-you :-)
