Undergraduate

Psychology

UK University

Overview

Psychology is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Psychology is regulated, so entry requirements and English levels are set higher than in most subjects and are rarely negotiable.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
