Additional Info Entry to the BSc Psychology is very often competitive due to its popularity and we may have to use an approach called the ‘gathered field approach’ in order to select applicants which means additional information will be considered from personal statements and references plus decisions will take longer to be processed to applicants. ^ The Psychology content of the BA (page 62) and BSc programme is identical: the appropriate programme depends on students’ academic background and the other subjects they wish to study i.e. BA route for social science related, or BSc for science related study.
