During the Foundation year, I hadn’t expected to get the chance to study such a wide range of modules. It was an enjoyable experience as I got the chance to form better connections with my lecturers and got to know most of the people in my classes, as numbers were obviously smaller than in part A of the full degree. 

Transitioning to the full Psychology degree was pretty smooth. Already knowing some of the people around and having a better idea of where I had to be for lectures made things a lot easier. Being familiar with the set-up and LEARN also made my workload feel easier to manage. 

My Foundation Year definitely made it clear that I chose the right course in Psychology. Because of the variety of modules I studied I was able to get clarity on which subject areas I liked and which ones weren’t for me, so it was helpful in that regard.
