If you need to work it is a bit of a hard search for a job in notts unless you can transfer although the su do employ me personally I am on Clifton campus so it is too far away from where I live to work there. You wouldn’t have this problem but it’s just a heads up

Hi 😊 and congrats on your offers!
NTU is very strong on employability as well as Reading. The sandwich year is built into the course, so you’re supported to complete a full year in industry, which can really boost your CV and confidence before final year.
University of Reading has a strong academic reputation in psychology and research-led teaching. The placement/sandwich year is optional rather than guaranteed, so you’d need to apply for it, but there’s support available if you choose to do one. Please finf more information here: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/psychology-ug
Overall it depends on you, NTU might suit you if you’re set on gaining structured work experience, while Reading is a good option if you want flexibility and a more research-focused course.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask if you’ve got any other questions! 😊
