Access Course or BTEC

Hello everyone I would like to do a degree in psychology and I would like to know whether a L3 BTEC Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care (Health Sciences) or Access to Social Sciences is better for this route?

At the moment I've just finished studying a L2 Diploma in Health and Social Care with GCSEs English and Maths. I'm also a mature learner aged 24+.

Please help me Friends however I'm also a student like you all!

Thank You!

Access course no debate.

You need a degree to be a psychologist
Access and BTEC are both pathways to a degree.
Access course is 1 year BTEC is probably a 2 year course.( most are)

Access course workload is fast pace however I'm more of a slow pace student.

How did you find an Access couse if you've studied it before opting to Higher Education?
I'd go for access, it prepares you better for uni.
