hiya, you can check out this website https://www.ucas.com/. it has a search bar that allows you to search for a course and it provides all the universities at which you can study, as well as open days and events and what the area surrounding the university is like to live in. it's also good to make sure the university course she is choosing is BPS accredited. you can use this website to find a list of the universities with BPS accredited courses https://www.bps.org.uk/public/become-psychologist/accredited-courses?type=CONV. it's important that it is accredited as it will allow her to pursue a career in the field of psychology and the wider psychological workforce :smile:

Hi! I currently study counselling psych at the uni of Worcester, which is a 40 minute train ride from Birmingham new street. As part of the module, forensic psychology was an option that I could study for a semester in my second year and it was probably one of my most informative module choices. That said, Worcester really hangs itself up statistics rather than new content that can be used in practice, so she’d need some good experience whilst she studies with either a psychological practice or a hospital ward
