What students say about child-psychology

The course is brilliant and all of the societies make it a really lovely place to be. Unfortunately I struggled to make lasting friends on campus although everyone is really nice and friendly. I also realised that I preferred living off campus and the housing team were really helpful in helping me move.

What students say about child-psychology

It feels like as students we are getting a lot of support from the university and professors are available to discuss any issues privately. The facilities are easy to access, the library is open 24/7, 365 days a year and that's amazing! There are a lot of things going on all the time and so many societies that you will definitely find something that you like and it makes it easy to meet new people. On campus accommodation is expensive. Very specific but as an international student your card will not work to access sportspark unless you pay 10£ and I couldn't find any mention of this fee when I signed up for some club activities.

What students say about child-psychology

The staff, peer guides, students etc... Have been very supportive! They help whenever they can and provide the necessary information to succeed. The lectures halls and class rooms and labs are very well maintained, everyone is punctual, they are very good at communication and answering follow up questions. Overall the staff and people at MMU are the highlight of the university overall. However some things that would need to be improved on is the washrooms. They're quite small and often extremely wet or sometimes dirty. This is not the case every where or in every washroom however it seems to be a pretty consistent thing regarding bathrooms. I understand and appreciate the cleaner and staff are doing their best though, and it's a mainly student on student issue. However the general size of the bathrooms is small, especially the ones near the stairwells.

What students say about child-psychology

I find the location, community and campus feel very peaceful and relaxing, and the education provided is good quality and varied. There could be more support for students who struggle to fit in with the student body, e.g., more help and encouragement to join societies or opportunities to socialise with peers.

What students say about child-psychology

Based on my time here, the University of Huddersfield is an excellent choice if you're looking for a career-focused degree and a supportive learning environment. The standout feature is definitely the teaching quality, backed by the Gold TEF rating, as nearly all my lecturers were genuine experts who were passionate and approachable. The modern, compact campus is a big plus—everything is central, from the state-of-the-art library (great during exam season!) to the specialist labs, and the fact that Huddersfield itself is a really affordable student town makes a huge difference. While the local nightlife might not rival a big city like Manchester, the focus on practical skills, the strong emphasis on industry placements, and the overall sense of community made my experience highly rewarding and put me in a great position for my career.

I love the university, my course is great and covers a variety of topics. The facilities on campus are amazing and I can book out the dance studios for free. The Roehampton students union is ok but the communication could be better between societies and also in general. I would love the RSu to host more events or at least support and promote other events at the union bar students can attend.

Swansea is a really fine place to study. The campus is absolutely stunning, right by the sea, and it feels like you're constantly surrounded by nature. The lecturers are generally good, and I've liked my courses so far. However, the weather can be a bit grim sometimes! But overall, I've am having a fantastic time at Swansea.

Studying child psychology

Child psychology degrees focus on teaching students about the behaviour and development of children and adolescents, looking at the conscious and subconscious development of young people both biologically and psychologically. Your degree is likely to involve academic fields like psychology, sociology, education, health and welfare, covering topics like child mental health and wellbeing, learning difficulties, communicating with children and child behaviours. Many child psychology degrees also involve a practical element, giving students relevant work experience in the field. Graduates will be set up to work in jobs that help young people’s learning, development and wellbeing in roles like primary school teacher, family support worker, social worker, counsellor and therapist.
