Hi Everyone,
I'm wanting to start the Philosophy and Psychology Degree in October, and was wondering if anyone has studied the course and what you think about it? Also, what modules are included in the degree?
Last year I completed and BTEC National Extended Diploma in Journalism and Print-Based Media (Level 3) where I achieved Distinction, Distinction, Distinction. I went to a brick university to study Journalism, but moved back home after a term as I felt very unhappy there and realised the course and living away from home was not for me.
Since moving back home, I have been working full time and really enjoy it. I would love to still get a degree, and since my experience studying Journalism at University, I don't want to continue the subject to degree level, but do still want to do a degree.
During my time at college studying Journalism at college, I really enjoyed researching materials for writing, and gathering research. This is why I find the study and researching of philosophy and psychology to be so appealing to me.
I am also dyslexic, so would I be entitled to extra time with assignments/exams or any specialist equipment? I have a full dyslexia report as proof of my learning difficulty.
Sorry for the long post, I just really want to make sure I am making the right choice. I know I am a very hard-working and motivated student, and the only thing stopping me from studying before was feeling homesick and not enjoying the course.
Thank you for taking your time to read my message, fellow OU students!
I look forward to hearing from you :)
