Choosing a university

[Hecktix]

is proper hard lol.

So many things to consider.

I wanna do psychology but there are areas of general psychology which bore the hell outta me so I wanna do something about psychology & health.

I wouldn't mind being a psychotherapist.. after years of training and I found two degrees which I quite like...

Counselling & Psychotherapy Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, which I cannot find anywhere if it is accredited by the BPS & without this you can't get graduate registration to the society, which is annoying as you then can't become a chartered psychologist.

Or Psychology & Counselling at the University of Greenwich, which does give you graduate registration to the BPS. But i'm not too sure about studying in London :S

They aren't amazing unis but the courses seem to suit me.. gonna go to open days and have emailed UClan about their psychotherapy course

1. Pick a corse
2. See the top universities that do that corse
3. Pick the university that is most appealing with area, extra curriculum activities, local area, halls or accommodation etc

next year jakee

lucy it's not that simple.. tbh the top unis for psychology have courses that would bore me to death... it's about finding a course and a location that's right for you.

[dirrty]

you could go to this list, see which that has an entry tariff which you could possibly achieve, decent location for you and check out what the courses are like. may take some time, but worth it in the end.

Yeah. I went to a HE convention today and had a chat with a few of the top unis for psychology and they didn't interest me haha.

So I may end up going to a uni that offers a more abstract course in psychology, which I don't mind

i was worried that it'd be like that for psychology, and it is AAA at all the best psych unis like Birmingham, York, ILC & London City.. but i read through the courses and was like erm.. that sounds crap.

So I'm quite pleased the courses I like have... relaxed entry requirements so I can be pretty certain I can walk onto them
