York Psychology Entry

Hi, York uni is my first choice and it’s my dream to go there, however they make it very clear that those who do 2 science based subjects have a higher chance of getting in for the psych course. I only do one science based subject (psychology) as economics/ sociology isn’t seen as a science. Has anyone gone to York with only doing 1 science based subject or am I probs not gunna be able to get in bc it’s such high demand😬😬thank youuuu

Hi there,

We're so excited to hear that we're your top choice!

It looks like you have had some good advice already, but if you're still not sure, I'd recommend getting in touch with the Psychology admission team (here is their email address: [email protected]), as they'll be able to advise you.

Additionally, you can chat to our students to ask any questions you have about studying in York.

I hope this helps - Hannah 😄

Hii, I also want to apply to Psychology at York but I don't meet the AAA requirements. I'm predicted AAB and I do psychology and physics, could I still apply or would I be rejected straight away? Thank youuu
