Uni of Edinburgh or Glasgow?

6

Hi

I'm having trouble deciding which university to apply to for a BSc in Psychology: Edinburgh or Glasgow? Looking at the League tables, it seems Edinburgh students aren't as satisfied with the course and have a slightly harder time finding jobs, if I'm reading the table correctly. I can't figure out what Graduate Prospects mean, but I'd assume it means finding jobs/continuing study? :colondollar:

Can anyone give me some pro's/con's of each university? I'm an international student (USA). I also am LGBT+ if that's a determining factor.

I'm mainly interested in doing clinical or forensic psychology.

If any current student of one of the universities can chime in, that'd be wonderful!

Thanks for any help :smile:

Don't know if this will help but I think it would be good to look at the course content of psychology at both Edinburgh and Glasgow and see which one you prefer in terms of content, as the course will vary in content across all universities. I recently went to Edinburgh for the open day (I'm also looking at the psych course), the open day was very nice and I quite like the course that they offer and the opportunities that they have such as being a research volunteer in a part of psych that you're interested in (so in your case that would be clinical or forensic psych). I don't really have any info on Glasglow as I didn't apply there.

Great, thank you so much!
