Hi everyone!
I really want to study psychology at uni, since starting my psychology a level I just completely fell in love with everything about the subject.
I very quickly became specifically interested in Forensic Psychology and therefore have been looking at Portsmouth uni who are one of only 2 uni's to offer an actual Forensic Psychology course in the UK.
Despite this, I am now wondering whether by studying that course and specilising so early, I would be putting myself at a disadvantage over other graduates in the future when looking for jobs as they may see me as someone who can only do Forensic style things. I am also very interested in all other areas of psychology so am wondering whether you guys would suggest that I stick with a general psychology course rather than a specific Forensic one?
Furthermore, I was only predicted C's in my A levels, however I got my AS results this morning and achieved 2 As and 2Bs (YAY!) and am now thinking that I would be eligible to go uni's with higher ranks - however it only further complicates my dilemma as after looking around I've seen that higher ranked uni's don't do any Forensic psychology modules whatsoever. So, do I apply for a higher ranked uni, but miss out on the forensic part that I think I would enjoy, or do I go for a lower ranked uni that offer Forensic OR, do I simply go for the forensic psychology course?!
Any advice would really be appreciated as I feel completely confused atm!
Thanks, Catherine
