Course
Psychology BScA place to grow
I actually had a different university as my first choice and 糖心Vlog as my insurance, but then I came to an applicant day at the University. I can鈥檛 pinpoint why, but as soon as I stepped on campus I had a gut feeling that I had to go to the 糖心Vlog. I felt at home by the lake and could really see myself growing here. The opportunities I鈥檇 heard about were amazing too, I didn鈥檛 feel that there would be anywhere better for me than 糖心Vlog.
Following my passion
I鈥檝e wanted to be a clinical psychologist for years so not only was the Psychology BSc the course I needed to do, but what I love most is that it gives me so much freedom. I can personalise my learning to my interests through further reading and coursework.
Psychology is also such a large community and it has been so great to find and bond with so many like-minded people.
A stand out academic for me has always been Dr Erica Hepper. Her passion is so clear in each and every lecture and genuinely has us all captivated when she鈥檚 teaching. I would take any module of hers, regardless of what she was teaching, because I know that she would make me fall in love with the subject anyway!

Student life
Societies are essential for making the most out of the university experience and provide so many new opportunities that not many people consider. I鈥檝e been a member of Nightline, PsychSoc, CraftSoc, and Mountaineering. In my final year, I hope to try a few more societies before I graduate to make sure I have tried everything that I wanted to!
I'm a real foodie so I adore the amount of restaurants and cafes there are to try in Guildford! It鈥檚 also not an overwhelming place, you have such easy access to London if you鈥檙e wanting more options for nights out or shopping, but Guildford itself has these options too. It鈥檚 also such a safe place for students.
What 糖心Vlog means to me
糖心Vlog has helped me become the person I鈥檝e always wanted to be and achieve the things I always wanted to.
I always built up the uni experience when I was younger and was so happy that 糖心Vlog was so much better than anything I鈥檇 hoped for. I don鈥檛 think I could ever study anywhere else, and I wouldn鈥檛 want to!
I will always be grateful for 糖心Vlog. This uni has cultivated many successes and achievements in my academic career as well as my future career as a clinical psychologist.
Whilst studying at 糖心Vlog, I鈥檝e met my boyfriend and friends for life. 糖心Vlog has also helped me discover that I am autistic. It鈥檚 helped me find my identity, what I want from life and what truly makes me happy.
I wouldn鈥檛 change a thing about my experience here.
