Psychology Offer

I received offers for Psychology from Bristol and KCL, which are both my top choice unis, but I can't seem to choose a firm choice between the two. KCL has a professional placement year included, but is also far more expensive with fewer financial aid opportunities. Bristol seems to be have a good reputation within the UK while KCL has better reputation internationally. I honestly love the idea of going to either one of them, but I'm not sure how to decide.

Honestly it is so difficult to get a job in psychology. I would 100% recommend going to KCL for the placement year. To be accepted onto a DClinPsy (if this is the goal) you'll need work experience and psychology-related proffessional work experience is quite hard to come by outside of organised placements. That being said I really wouldn't worry about prestige and international reputation- the two are both really good unis and might have switched places in the rankings by the time you graduate anyway.
