University of York Speciality : Psychology
programme: Psychology

I really enjoyed my time at the University of York. I felt very well supported by my tutors and lecturers, and felt I really developed my knowledge and skills. I felt connected to my fellow students and enjoyed being a part of societies linked to my interests, as well as finding new hobbies I enjoyed!

A generally positive experience here. To begin with, the city itself was wonderful and I loved living there. Unfortunately, living in such a great city often coincides with a higher cost of living, which I did experience. The University has a great reputation and wonderful facilities and resources which are always expanding. There were several great study spots which I frequented. The course I studied was a high quality, well organised and academically rigorous course. I did have to study a lot of content I wasn’t interested in, so I didn’t enjoy some of the course. The university also suffered with a lot of strike action. I was personally unaffected, but I know many who were very negatively impacted by this.

The psychology course at this university is so interesting and fun. You get to learn a broad range of psychology and can have some fun along the way. The support from the lecturers is very good and are there for your if you’re really struggling.
