It depends on your experience.
If you have never been to university before, I would always recommend the following to prepare:
•
Learn how to touch type, if you don't already (have a speed of 30wpm or more)
•
Learn to speed read (with psychology, you would be doing a lot of this)
•
Learn to use Microsoft Office proficiently - if you want specific topics/tutorials to look up, let me know
•
Learn how to write academically - this can make or break your grades. I recommend reading How to Write Great Essays by Peter Levin
I do have tips for what to do during uni, but I think I am jumping ahead a bit/

I'm in similar position. I went to uni three years ago and I'm looking to go back in September. I'm pretty sure I'm going to choose Plymouth. Can I ask what made you choose Plymouth in the end?
