Cardiff metropolitan or university of south wales

Hi I applied to study psychology in both universities but I’m not sure which one to pick if I get my offer. Is cardiff met better than university of south wales for psychology or the other way around as I want to be a clinical psychologist

They're both BPS accredited, which is the essential thing a psychology degree must have. And since they're both BPS accredited, then it doesn't really matter where you go, as long as you achieve a 2.1 or something better (the higher grade, the better for your future!), so go to the one you like the most

I’m sorry what does bps accredited and achieve 2.1 what?

And so any of those good for psychology then like both of them are as good?

BPS - British Psychological Society. BPS accredited basically means you can go on and do further study and training and eventually legally work as a psychologist. If your degree isn't BPS accredited, you can't do any of those things, and so the degree would be a touch useless. But since both of the universities you mentioned are BPS accredited, you don't have to worry.

2.1 is a grade you get at uni. It works a little bit differently than school. Grades at uni go, from highest to lowest, 1st, 2.1, 2.2, 3rd, and fail. 2.1 is 60% and above - you basically want to get more than that in your degree, else you don't get the BPS accreditation. Might sound scary at first but it's very feasible, I promise!

Does this clarify things?



Pretty much!

Thank you so much for your reply and help I needed that and so both uni I applied to are bps accredited? It’s because I also applied to cardiff uni but I know I most likely will get accepted so I have cardiff met and usw as my second choices

No problemo, and that's right, they're both BPS accredited (Cardiff is accredited too)
