I applied for psychology and received the same offer from both unis. ABB. I'm not sure which one to choose though
Sussex is ranked 15th for psychology. It is closer as I live in London. Its a four year course with a professional placement year. But it's accommodation is more expensive and its TEF is silver
Lancaster is ranked 9th for psychology and is more respected. It's TEF is gold. It has cheaper housing.But it's located at North England and doesn't offer a placement year, only summer internships.
Should I choose the one with a placement year so I gain experience, increasing my chances to pursue a career in psychology. Or go to a more respected uni, Lancaster, and do a year of work experience on my own after I finish uni and before I apply to masters
Is Lancaster uni boring? I do want to enjoy uni life too
