Anyway, find out the course you like the most and go straight to it! You have to spend your 3/4 years in a place that you like! XDD

not sure yet, but it is not likely..UCL did not convince me to go and I am not too idealistic about it also.

So I'm not the only one who won't choose UCL for psych? That's nice. You know, it really didn't convince me either, I don't like the course structure. And as far as reputation goes, I wouldn't count on it being that relevant or important.
But anyway, what uni are you leaning towards more then?

I would personally choose st. Andrews because I absolutely loved the look of it.

Got an offer from Bath for the five year Msci course. I was starting to worry I wouldn't get the offer as I don't meet the GCSE Maths grade required and to make matters worst there's about 15 places available. I'm so happy though and if it all works out I'll be attending there. Bham as my insurance as they offered me AAB.

Did they offer you a conditional with A in Maths?

No, they didn't mind that I didn't have an A in Maths. Which goes against everything the admissions team said, which is what got me so worried in the first place..

They still want it from me. I'm tempted to call them to say I am not going to get it and what my options are. I did my GCSE's 10 years ago!!

I've got two offers to study at postgraduate level, one for Health Psychology at Aston and one for Sport Psychology at Stirling. Torn on the decision as both are good for employability, Stirling is cheaper but Health Psychology is a broader subject area/career path. Does anyone have experience of studying either health or sport as an MSc? In terms of career prospects I'm hoping just to go into research but I'm not going to do a PhD.

I'm so torn what to put as my insurance!

I've decided that I am going to firm Bath but I don't know whether to put Birmingham or Surrey down as my insurance. Birmingham is higher in the league tables and is a Russell Group, they want AAB whereas Surrey is 21ist in the league tables but I get a placement year with it. However the grades they want are higher, AAA. Also from looking at salaries 6 month after completing the course Surrey seems to be higher! Any ideas or opinions as to what I should do?
