    Is anyone studying this course?
    If so, could you give me your general thoughts on it please?
    I have it as first on my CAO but now Im changing my mind and thinking of going just for psychology. (I was going to chose that as one of my subjects and if I wanted to do it in the end do a few extra yearsk, but worth the hassle? :/)
    Please help :/

    My advice would be to try the BA connect for a year in first year, with psych as one of your other subjects.

    I know many people that think they will love psych and end up hating it.

    So youre prob best at least trying psych out before you make any big decisions.

    My mate went to college to do psych. took it in first year, hated it and ended up studying philosophy in 2nd & 3rd yr :)

    I might do that.
    Kinda worried about the amount of years I might have to do though if I do want to do psychology in the long run :/

    If you do a BA with Psychological studies then all it takes is one year doing the H.Dip to round off your psychology.

    Up to yourself if you think the extra year is worth it to study a subject you're interested in.

    I know but then theres another 3 years if I want to do it professionally, like, clinical or something, is that right?

    Ah sorry, thought you were referring to the time difference between a BA in Psychological Studies and studying Psychology only!
