Psychology degree

Guys I have no idea what unis to apply for please help I wanna stay in London or like around the area. Could you please give me a name of a few good unis I should look at for psych? I have the grades for psychology at Kings but I didn't get a grade 6 at GCSE but I got a 5 instead so should I not bother applying? I have looked at Queen Mary and Royal Holloway and I think I may apply to these. Any help would be so helpful rn! Also is University of West London bad?
KCL will be strict about GCSE grades, and Maths is important for Psychology.
Email them and ask but they may say No. However - you could retake GCSE Maths in June to bump your grade up, Any offer would just include the GCSE grade as an extra condition. Ask you school if you can do this.

You could try Brunel. This is slightly on the outskirts not too far from West London or maybe Reading which is easy to get to by train.

Reading is another good uni you could consider - there are very fast trains from Paddington which makes it quicker to get to for most Londoners than Royal Holloway.
Kent and Essex (and Sussex at a push) are also commutable from London.
Hi there,

It may be worth looking into our psychology degrees that we provide. We have a variety of degrees that are joint honors as well which might interest you if you would be interested in a bit of a challenge and looking into something new alongside learning psychology. Here's the link:

We also recently had a webinar on psychology as a taster for students on what the subject is all about which you may also be interested in.

Do not apply to Arden - its a correspondence University based in an office block in Coventry.
Its academic reputation is zero, and you will get no student-experience.
Do not waste your money.
