Undergraduate
The University is committed to equality of opportunity and to selection on merit. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified persons. However, as males are currently under-represented in the School of Psychology student population, we would particularly welcome applications from this group.

Declan Burrows
BSc Psychology, Final year
I decided to study BSc Psychology at 20 years old after completing an ACCESS course and I am so glad I did it this way. I left school originally at 17, unsure of what I wanted to do with my life. After working for a few years, I knew I wanted to go on to be a Clinical Psychologist. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I can see a substantial growth in my skillset from when I started until now.

BSc Psychology, Final year
There is honestly something for everyone in Psychology. It has helped me develop my analytical and critical thinking skills, communication skills and researching abilities. Psychsoc helped me a lot in first year to meet new people. They also make studying easier as they organise events to help with essay writing and research skills. Studying Psychology has helped me develop my overall employability and understanding of the world around us which for me is invaluable and I have enjoyed every second of it.

BSc Psychology, Second Year
Travelling from Newcastle daily, along with balancing family life and continuing with my hobby, which is weight lifting, did mean I had different barriers than other students who transitioned straight from school. The students I have befriended have been so supportive; emotionally, socially and educationally. We really do help each other and want to see each other doing the best we possibly can. I’m not going to lie, coming to Queens was very overwhelming at the beginning but everyone feels the same that we are all in this together, wanting the same outcome…..a better future.

BSc Psychology, First year
I have Crohn’s disease and trying to manage my health and study is quite a challenge. When applying, it was brought to my attention that I could register with Disability Service, which provides help and support to students. This has made the transition to university a lot easier for me and it is very reassuring to know that I have the support from the School. I highly recommend applying to Queen’s, as it has been the best decision I have ever made.
