Overall, really interesting concepts and topics covered across the modules. However, there is no consistency between the different lecturers and marking. There is clearly a preference for what different lecturers expect so when it comes to marking they are biased. Also, many times it just feels as if I’m paying £9k each year for lecturers to read off slides which have been around for years now. Don’t think it’s worth the money, slightly dissatisfied. read more

It's an interesting subject and the support is good (most modules have drop in/q&a sessions). However, to get into a psychology career you have to get a master's and sometimes even a doctorate which is poor value for money. read more

The course so far is great and very hands on with the practicals we do. The teaching quality is okay but could be better- a lot of the time lecturers end up having to rush through the lecture so the content covered isn't actually learned- leaves a lot for us to do by ourselves. My personal tutor has been fantastic and very helpful read more

I really do love my course, but as an International Student it is quite expensive for me and I think that’s my main complaint. It’s quite challenging because we as students put a standards on ourselves for the work we do, but that standard is pushed a lot more because we’re expected to do well because of the amount we’re paying and it’s a bit ridiculous read more

Loughborough could do more for psychology. It does kind of feel like a sidelined course, as so much money and facilities is dedicated to design, engineering and sports students and it feels like we don’t really get anything as a psychology student.
