Psychology at Bath or Bristol?!

I'vs got offer for Bath and Bristol and don't know which to firm as they are the same grades (my insurance will be Newcastle).
I prefer the Bath course and you can do a placement year with it which Bristol doesn't offer but I prefer Bristol as a city to be a student in and don't like that Bath is a campus. Any personal experiences of Bath or Bristol would be really helpful or general advice. :smile:

My gut instinct would be that the placement year should be a big factor - especially if you want to become a clinic psych in the future (v competitive).

However, I will throw into the ring that on psychology courses the choice and flexibility with the modules you choose can be limited thanks to the BPS accreditation. If you have a little browse, and one uni offers you more flexibility and choice in modules than the other - I would factor that in too.

Here if you need more help :smile:
