Hi all,
My name is Danny and I am currently a MRes Psychology student at the University of Bath. Until last June, I was a BSci Psychology student here as well.
When I was applying for a Masters, I only applied at Bath (for a few courses within the social sciences) as I had an amazing undergraduate experience and was confident that that would be the case continuing with postgraduate education as well.
Particularly, as an MRes I am able to work on my own independent research project while being supervised and taught by some of the best researchers in their fields. I am certain that this is the case for other degrees, especially research degrees, within both the social and natural sciences, etc. If you are interested in the research done at Bath, please
follow this link.
Further, I feel that the University, and the
Students' Union specifically, are particularly engaged in ensuring student well-being through various accommodations, support services and networks, etc. This is quite important to me as a Psychology student, but also personally as being in a good place in regard to well-being is essential to doing well academically and in day-to-day activities generally.
These are only some of the reasons I chose to continue my education at Bath, but I wanted to give you an idea of what you might want to consider when choosing a university or course (undergraduate or postgraduate). I have started this thread in order to answer any questions you might have in regard to the application process, finance, accommodation, etc, as well as to give you more information about the various Psychology courses we provide.
Lastly, while I do have a background in Psychology, I have also taken optional units in Education, Politics, Sociology and Social Policy, so if you are interested in those as well, I should be able to help you out.
Danny,
MRes Psychology
