Hey,
Amy here, one of the Cardiff University student reps! As a recent graduate of the BSc Psychology with Professional Placement course as Cardiff, I can definitely say that I thoroughly enjoyed the course! I actually am now studying for the MSc Children's Psychological Disorders, also at Cardiff, as I enjoyed it so much.
From my personal experience, the Psychology undergraduate degree at Cardiff caters to everyone. During first year, for example you will get a taste of everything- from introductory statistics, research methods, social psychology, language and memory, and biological psychology! In final year, you are able to pick your modules, with a wide range of Psychological topics available! You can find a complete list of the modules available
here.
There is also the opportunity to go on a year-long professional placement between second and final year, which is what I did. I would highly recommend choosing to do this (if you are able to!), as it gave me such valuable experience that has helped me get a place on my MSc, alongside making me a suitable candidate for other psychological part-time work. I also had a genuinely enjoyable year, and was privileged to work with the most friendly and welcoming team! You can find information on taking a placement year
here.
Do you have any specific questions relating to the course? 🥰
