What students say about this university

227 comments (55 students)
    • The course is very interesting and has optional modules that are up-to-date and aren't offered in a lot of other courses. I like how in 3rd year the optional modules are more tied to the branches of psychology someone may want to pursue afterwards, which is useful for figuring out what you want to do next.
