Hi There!
If you are struggling to make your mind up of where to study at university, I would suggest to start on each of their websites. Here you can see all the different modules that each course offers as every university course is completely different.
Here is the LJMU Psychology webpage: https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/study/courses/undergraduates/2025/35654-psychology-bsc-hons
The great thing about studying Psychology at LJMU is all the optionality we have. The Psychology course here offers many modules that you can choose from, so in your second and third year you can specialise in the areas of psychology that you really want to focus on.
If it is possible for you, I'd suggest to attend some open days and applicant days so you can get a feel for the campus and the course to see if it feels right for you.
Location is also a big thing to consider- does the city feel right for you? Do you want somewhere busy or quiet? Do you want a city or a closed off campus? These are all things you need to consider.
Once you've had a think about all these things, it should be easier for you to reach your decision.
I hope this helps.

Hello! @charlietvdddd 🙂
It's great you're considering studying psychology at university!
In order to choose universities to apply to you should consider;

•

If you want a campus based or a city based university

•

If you want your course to be accredited

•

Look at the actual course and see if it suits what you're looking for in a degree in psychology

•

Look at the university's city

•

Look at the university's facilities and compare to your hobbies, e.g. sports clubs/societies

UEA's Psychology course is accredited by the British Physiological Society. UEA is based in the city of Norwich which is a quiet yet vibrant city with lots of varying landscapes.
As it's a campus university, everything you need is on campus ranging from a spar shop to a state of the art Sportspark with an Olympic sized swimming pool! You can check out the virtual open day to see the campus but I'd highly recommend visiting at an upcoming open day if you haven't yet.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any specific questions you may have! 🙂
