It's a possibility I could transfer onto Applied Psychology degree programme, however, I am wanting to be sure I'm making the right choice.

My friend does Psychology and she says it is a full on course, 8 lectures a week. It involves alot of maths which she struggles with. Apart from that she enjoys it.

I'm doing Anthropology and I hate it.

I'm aware Applied Psychology has a lot of Maths involved, which is a bit off putting I have to say.

Do you have Maths at A Level?

my friend got in with a GCSE maths and access course

What do you want to do when you graduate? Does the Applied Psychology course have GBR (graduate basis for registration)? Without it it is is next to impossible to continue with a career in Psychology unless you take additonal exams or a conversion course.

What is it you hate about Anthropology and why do you think you'd like Applied Psychology better?

They have offered me a place with my GCSE Maths & Access course.

I will double check the GBR status of the course. I haven't accepted a place yet, so still have time for questions. Not sure what employment I want after graduation, plenty of time to think about that. Employment isn't the sole reason behind my doing a degree programme.

I hate everything about Anthropology. I just haven't got the interest in the subject as a whole.

I've done A-level psychology and it was part of my Access course, so I do have some good background knowledge of the subject which is a bonus.
