Amazing SU, with great alumni that really make a difference. Great life/work balance with some many opportunities. Would recommend bath to anyone who is thinking of joining, or not! Although, the buses are a nightmare.

What students say about child-psychology

The supervisors, Phd office, students and the university itself have been wonderfully supportive. It is easy to criticise minor issues or those beyond the universities control, but overall it is just a great place to be and study. The Students Union could improve the way it deals with people as I did not find them particularly supportive, but then maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will still give them 4 stars since they mean well.

What students say about child-psychology

Best is the people and the quality of the education, worst has to deal with who runs UCL, administration has quite a few dirtbags. Facilitates aren't the greatest. I prefer more of a traditional campus feel and prefer KCL and LSE campus. Still considering coming back to UCL to apply for a LLM, alongside the other London unis, and maybe throw my shot at oxbridge.

Tutors are lovely but the only thing that could be improved is the support for the English and the rest of the students who are not from Scotland. It's took me 3 years to get help for my dyslexia and that is because I have to pay for it.

Not always the most supportive and clear with assignments that are due and not always as understanding something doesn’t go to plan. The vet school in Langford cafeteria is quite limited and a lot more expensive than the main campus There is also limited areas to eat and relax compared to the main campus The content is not well spaced out on blackboard you often have to go into multiple folders to find specific work

Student safety and community feel is very strong. Lots of history surrounding the university and the town is beautiful. To improve I would have better transport for student to move between town and the nearest cities (like Edinburgh), better nightlife for the students and more accomodation.

I like inclusion that everyone is equal and part of university and there is relaxation about stuff like assignments and fees. Teachers also collaborate alot. Worst thing is lack of events. There should be more events

Best experience has to be Keele hall it’s beautiful in all seasons to go to especially in summer there’s no other uni that can offer that For nursing the teaching facilities are great theirs no other facilities you would need to study The student union are always their with support so you will never feel on your own Worst probably the night life just wish their was less nights out but better produced maybe that would attract more people Also I have seen the graduations that take place in January and their not as well produced as the summer ones which is a shame makes us feel a little bit under appreciated

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.
