Psychology timetables

Hi,
I've applied at Chichester, Southampton, Portsmouth University for psychology. Does anyone know what the timetables are like for first year?

Thanks

Hey there !
I am a first year student going into 2nd year in September and i study criminology with psychology. I know that we are not studying the exact same course but generally for first year the times tables are pretty relaxed here at UoP. (this is dependent on the course of course)
In first year up until christmas i had around 3-4 lectures in a week ranging from 9 am to abt 4:30. After christmas the time table started to pick up a little bit and found that we either had a couple more lectures or workshops or that instead of an hours lecture it would be an extra 30 mins to an hour unlike before christmas. Overall the time table in its self was pretty relaxed giving us time to consolidate our learning through the week or sit in our 24 hour library doing extra research as well as to enjoy the social side of university especially as i am a part of womens rugby, so having few lecturers in first week really worked out for match days etc.
We also had workshops alternative weeks which would range between 1-2 a week so one week you would have just your seminars and lectures and the next you will have your sem/ lectures as well as course workshops which are hugely useful. Again even with those workshops first year (especially for me) wasn't too busy.
i hope this is helpful and fingers crossed you get in all of your chosen universities 🙂
if you have any further questions please feel free to reply to this message and our student ambassadors will be happy to help.
Kind regards
