Warwick or Birmingham?

Both are good universities but Birmingham a better city with a lot more to do

That isn't a good reason to pass up on Warwick for Birmingham. You'd have easy access to Birmingham coming from Coventry, where Warwick is situated in. Both cities are less than half an hour away by train.

LOL I know that isn't a good reason I just wrote it as you haven't had any replies. All I know is that both are good universities and have both got good employment rates. I live in Coventry and regularly go to Birmingham so I can tell you anything about living here etc I would also be in your position next year as I am also looking at psychology but personally would choose Birmingham. Why don't you try contacting them?

Hi i applied for BSc in Psychology and got conditional offers but I can't seem to decide between birmingham or warwick. Which uni is better? Are the lecturers and graduate prospects good? Which has a better department and how does the modules differ?

You misquoted my post. I'm not the OP.
As for myself, I already graduated from Warwick about a decade ago, lol...

My best friend is taking a few psychology modules at Birmingham and he seems to be enjoying it a lot, I don't really know much about the department at Warwick as I study Maths which is far removed so won't offer any advice but in terms of graduate prospects you're definitely better off at Warwick. I'm from Birmingham and it's good as far as cities go, but choosing Warwick over Imperial was a good personal decision, it's a lot more interactive in terms of societies and also a lot more peaceful generally speaking, away from the bustle of city life.

Don't know how helpful that is but there you go.

TL;DR Boring but like sports and green stuff? Warwick (Not to say everyone here is boring, this is just from a personal standpoint )
Prefer the vibe of city life and going to clubs etc. Birmingham is definitely the better choice.

Did you read the course content? I'm sure both courses are taught a little differently. In terms of leagues tables, Warwick is better...but that doesn't mean much nowadays. As someone previously mentioned, Birmingham is situated in a nicer area with many connects..two stations nearby, a massive shopping centre and the social factor is definitely there. They are both well respected unis. If I were you, my ultimate decision would be reliant on the course content, how it's taught whether one is more practical, contract hours and the uni that teachers specific aspects of psychology you may be particularly interested in. You will find all that information on their websites, along with stats and reviews and that'll help you come to a decision.

I have read the modules, and I find Birmingham's to be more interesting. But some people advice me to go for Warwick because of it's name and better graduate prospects.

If Birmingham appeals to you more, you should go for that. League tables aren't a big thing. They're both RG unis and both respected. A lot of people end up dropping out and going to another uni because they were so unhappy with their course at their 'top' uni. I think you'll have a better social life at Birmingham, it has better connects so it'll be easier for you to visit home when you want, several buses take you to and from Birmingham, not to mention taxis outside the station and 2 train stations to help get you around..and the course appeals to you more. It's more than the ranking, you've got to take everything into account

I wouldn't advise him to do that, if he has any interests in research or sectors such as finance or business in general, Warwick is far superior. League tables don't count for anything but opportunities do.

I took a psychology module this year as part of my own course and loved it. It was extremely well taught and lecturers were great with dealing with questions. I know a couple of people doing psychology who really enjoy the course! I don't know much about Birmingham's Psych department but in all honesty because they are both Russel Group and well thought of by grad employers, and you say you have no preference for green/city, I'd say have a in depth look at the course structure and go for whichever one is more interesting to you. Consider which one lets you do more options you would enjoy etc. Good luck
