Uni of Bath, Manchester or St Andrews for bsc psychology?

I’ve got all unconditional offers from these universities. And a little time left to choose one. I couldn’t get any scholarships from them as I am an international student from EU and missed most of the deadlines. So fees are going to be expensive. So I want to go to the best university for psychology course. Uom’s psychology course is weaker comparing other two choices. Even though it is ranked really good internationally im leaning on attending st andrews or bath. Based on my researches St andrews is slightly better ranked in psychology but also heard that Bath is excellent uni for psychology. My course in bath has work placement option and I want to be clinical psychologist in the future so if its change anything regarding which university for me to choose please say so. Please help me!

The opportunity to take a placement year will add a lot more to your CV than how your uni was ranked.

Rankings - course/general/employment-wise - you have probably seen already, but they're three similarly good universities

The work placement option can be a big pro when it comes to employment after graduation. Obviously if you have to do all the legwork applying for positions will still be an uphill battle vs if it's something that gets handed to you (that I don't know)
