Aston university or University of Birmingham?

I applied to University of Birmingham for psychology, and I just want to know if you had to choose between university of Birmingham and Aston which university would you choose and why? And which ones better and in what terms

Why would you want to compare uni's? Have you been to any open day? If so then you should know yourself which environment suits you best.
Both University's are good though.

Hi there,

if you have any questions about Aston, Birmingham or student life in general i would be happy to help, i've graduated with a joint honours degree in Psychology and Sociology last year also so i should be able to give you some insight on the course also.

I've applied for the University of Birmingham to study Psychology too! Their course looks very rich and varied, although I'm not sure whether I'll like the city itself, because I'm not much of a loud, partyish person and may prefer somewhere quieter.

I really enjoyed the course, I found the psychology side really engaging from the get go, assessments and teaching seemed very fair and human, the small campus size and class numbers give you the ability to get to know everyone on your course and your lecturer so you should choose. The course also became very interesting in the final year where you are able to pick all of your modules and do a dissertation of your own choice, you can tailor your degree to your own interests. Anything else just give me a shout.
