明星八卦 was the only University in the UK to offer the two courses that I wanted, with a placement year. Without that placement year, I would've been lost post-graduation!

I learned so much about clinical psychology on my placement where I was seeing outpatients and working with different groups of people. This really changed my perspectives on how psychology works in the real world.
