LSE vs UCL for psychology

No probs! It sounds like you already have a good idea of what kind of things to include on your PS and are on the right track.

Yes, happy for you to DM me if you'd like me to proofread your statement. Sometimes it helps just to get a second opinion.

Thank you! I know the personal statement is extremely important, and I'm an international student, so I'm trying to be as thorough as possible and TSR is one of my few sources of help.

Sure, let me know where you'd prefer for me to be able to converse with you, and when I'm done, I'll send it your way! Thanks for all your help again

@bellowingcupcake my daughter decided to go for LSE in the end because the course appealed to her interests more. The UCL course is ranked very highly, but there is more of a focus on neuropsychology and clinical practice, while the LSE course is a broader social science degree with more emphasis on policy and the behavioural economics. I think you should base your decision mainly on which course you think will suit your preferences and interests best.

There is a lot of information available on the LSE and UCL websites regarding the course content and videos which give you a good overview too. Here's the link for the LSE one if you haven't checked it out already.

Remember to write a strong personal statement when you apply as many universities don't interview, so you'll need to make your statement stand out and impress. There are some really good videos by admissions tutors on the uni websites and also on YouTube, which give you a good idea of what they're looking for. Hth best of luck!

hi, I am an incoming student who just received my offer in PBS for LSE 2023 September. I have quite a few questions that i wanted to ask since there is limited amount of information available online.

1. I wonder about whether the school hosts orientation or freshers events for students to get to know each others, especially those coming from the outside of UK.
2. How do students navigate their student life and student organizations? Is there a mentorship program where first-year students might be paired with an upper year student to ask questions they have?
3. Do you feel like there is a sense of community at LSE or is it just career-oriented?
4. How do you find the course (PBS) as it is newly introduced and how is the teaching quality of professors at LSE?
5. Why are there so many comments about internships and career-planning, what is the environment exactly like? Is it just students often discussing it or are there often conferences for career planning hosted by the university?

Thank you very much in advance, I think your reply would be super helpful.
