    Well I'm in 2nd year Psychology (MH106) at the moment and to be totally honest you graduate with the same degree no matter what option you choose. The only difference being that Psychology through Science (MH209) is a year longer in duration and significantly less points than the 3 year MH107 route, I think the points were 465 / 520 the year I started!

    Yes definitely once you have enough points! In fact I changed over from Law in to Psychology in October! Just go to admissions and request a transfer, the women in there are ridiculously helpful! :D

    Oh okay but that's only if you have enough points is it ?

    Well yes, obviously enough, they can't just let you into a degree programme without the appropriate points and requirements! It went down from when I was doing it but it was 520 to get a place in Pure Psychology last year and I was over that in terms of points so that's the only reason I was granted the internal transfer from one degree to another.

    For the love of god, learn to spell psychology. Someone already corrected you and you ignored them. So obtuse.

    And that you spend first year (and second) doing science subjects. Which depending on the route that you plan on taking, can be an advantage.

    If you have a science mind anyway I'd stick with it. It can't hurt! :-)
