Aberystwyth University - ABER Speciality : Psychology
programme: Applied Psychology

My degree is in Psychology with an integrated year abroad, I am currently in my third year and abroad. Therefore, I believe that I can review my University objectively. When I chose this course before University, I wish that there was more information in depth about the course, for example, I did not know that Psychology relies heavily on statistics and your knowledge of them. So, I would recommend perhaps on the website, state all skills needed and skills that you will learn in-depth. My favourite aspect of the course was the excellent communication between teachers and students, actually between all types of faculty and students. They are always concise with their emails and easy to understand. Also extremely quick in replying back no matter the day and time. The excellent communication, helped me so much many times throughout my time here. I would definitely recommend Aberystwyth University to a friend if they like a small seaside town and a smaller university where teachers actually go the extra mile to help each student.

Studying psychology, I was grateful to my university for providing a wide range of interesting topics that helped me discover more about areas I am passionate in as well as providing the chance to learn about areas I had never considered before. Lecturers were friendly and helpful, and it was easy to form great relationships with them and receive assistance where needed. The university has a warm and welcoming environment that supports the learning well.
