Psychology at Bradford University??

GoodSpeach, so you wouldn't rather study at Bradford Uni? I thought I could get a student loan which as it offen happens I wouldn't have to repay (as my future income wouldn't excess 15k).

Or do you suggest that in general for an EU student it's not worth studing in the UK anymore?

Hi Guys,
I've got an Unconditional offer from Bradford Uni -Psychology (as I am outsiede of the UK one fundation handled my application and they advised Bradford..)
and now I've been reading that this is not a very good place to study to say the least..and I really don't know what to do because if I apply through usac myself I'll lose my place at Bradford, and if I don't get any other offer than I'm srewed..
Can anyone advise me??
Is Bradford really that bad??

I'd kindly appreciate your help/advice

A degree is a degree

it's not.

Says the Psychology degree student?

I sense the bitterness of an expoly student.

Unfortunately, it does matter where you study.

No I've not been to university yet, I just didn't understand what you meant by a degree not being a degree when clearly it is.

Bradford's not that bad! If you mean as a city (I don't know anything about the university's psychology department)

I take it you are drawing upon your wealth of experience in regards to the graduate market place to make these conclusions?

Silly school children.

Well from working at a law firm for a year prior to starting college who do not care which university you came from as long as your qualifications and experience are decent, yes I do have a little bit of knowledge on what that particular firm looks for.

You do not know me, and yet you assume somehow I am below you? Yeah, sure. Get a life you pathetic moron.

LOL. So you are extrapolating what one person at one law firm said to the entire graduate market? Hahahahahahaha.

Did I say that? No, I am giving an example that what you think is not necessarily the truth.

I'm sorry for disagreeing with your 'knowledge' that a degree from one university is somehow worth less than another even though the credits are the same. The prestige of the university is something else entirely.

Cool story. I hope it will help you to hold back the tears when you're unemployed after six months and you're £20k in debt because you got a degree from a university that used to be a leisure centre.

Stop talking bull****. For a Psychology degree, the standard of the department is integral to what you take from the degree, where you will go, who will employ you, and who will accept you for postgraduate study. Psychology is a lot different from many other degrees. The standard of research, the BPS accreditation etc are just some of the things which are taken into account.

OP is talking about Psychology. This is the Psychology forum. GodSpeed is talking about Psychology. You however are not, so in the interest of helping the OP make the best decision, it's probably a good idea that you leave.



EDIT: And in response to the thread, I would not suggest taking up the offer from Bradford. Go where your grades will take you. It is not a good idea to play it so safe.
