Hi Carly :smile:

I live in Ayrshire at the moment but I'm hoping to move to Glasgow shortly to be nearer the university.

Regarding the subjects I've studied, I've just completed a HNC in the Social Sciences which included psychology, sociology, history & politics and before that I studied psychology, sociology and english at higher level, how about you?
Hey there, just to say I'm a current Glasgow student about to enter my final year of Psychology degree :smile: Any questions feel free to send them over :biggrin:

Hi there :smile:

Thank you for posting.

I have a couple of questions, if it isn't too much trouble, firstly, how many days a week on average are most Psychology undergraduates in? Also, how was the first year of the course from your perspective?

From Rebecca.

Oh me too, what subjects are you thinking of taking in first year? I'm thinking about Philosophy and maybe Sociology.

Thanks, you too! I have no idea yet, really. I'm so indecisive! I'm considering English Language, and also Sociology/History. I've also recently been considering Anatomy, but I think that's because I'm currently in hospital, I've never really been interested in it before! What about you?

No worries and thank you :smile:

Awesome choices but yeah I know the feeling, I'll end up picking something different when it comes down to choosing for definite, haha.


Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that you're in hospital, hope you recover soon :smile: anatomy is very interesting though.


I was thinking about Sociology, Philosophy/Criminology if there's the option but I'm still not 100 per cent certain.

And I'm not sure but I think the textbook for the year is: Psychology: Science of Mind and Behaviour by Holt, Bremner and the rest. At least I think that was the textbook they used last year.

I found this http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/media_284760_en.pdf but wasn't sure if it applied to MA undergrads. Though I'm pretty the actual psychology course is the same for MA and BSc :smile:
