Has anyone taken the access to health and health sciences to do a psychology degree?

Right, unfortunately I didn't get onto the psychology course I wanted to do. But I got a phone call for this course yesterday saying people have dropped out and there are spaces.

So has anyone done health and health sciences gone on to take a psychology degree? As I want to make sure this is a suitable course.

Many thanks

I don't have the full breakdown of the course. I know it has biology, chemistry, psychology and sociology. But if you got offers for psychology then I'm sure this course will be fine. Thanks. I'm just panicking lol.

I didn't do chemistry (thank goodness!) , but the rest sounds the same. Just make sure you meet the maths requirements of any universities you're interested in - some ask for a particular grade at GCSE maths. Where are you thinking about applying for?

Yes I know this. Most ask for C but sussex require a B. I have a C. But may apply there and see how it goes. Other than that Chichester, Brighton, Surrey and Portsmouth. They need to be nearby as I'm going to commute.

Yeh I'm not a fan of Science, my worst subjects lol. But we will see how I get on, fingers crossed if I really knuckle down I should be ok.

When I mentioned I wanted to go on to study Psychology, I was first advised to go onto the Health/Science Access course, but after looking at the modules I decided to do Access to Humanities and Social Sciences instead. I'm really glad I did! I was right up my street - it didn't have any Science, but it did have Social Welfare, Psychology and Social Theory modules.
I applied to Brighton, Chichester, Essex and Kent, mostly for the plain Psychology Bsc courses, and I got offers from all four (I'm starting at Kent next week! Applied Psychology with Clinical Psychology).

I wanted to apply to Sussex, too, but I have a C in GCSE maths - I emailed them when I was researching Uni's and they basically told me to either retake my entire maths GCSE, or not to bother applying at all! They said they wouldn't even accept the GCSE Maths Equivalence that my Access course offered. So I gave up on the idea of Sussex. But it all worked out in the end!

Regarding doing access in social sciences or health and social care - I think either is fine. Personally I didn't like science at school and had a bit of a mental block about it, so I'm really glad that my access included human biology as it has helped me to get over that and will hopefully mean I'm less freaked out by all of the biological parts of the psychology degree, but either course can get you onto a psychology degree.
