Why Psychology at the University of Leicester?

Posted by Tasmin in Psychology on September 23, 2016

As all students know, money can become easily scarce, with textbooks, vodka, and take out pizza all contributing to the demise of your student loan.

Posted by Alice in Psychology on March 30, 2015

Last weekend I worked as an Ambassador on a very particular event: a Richard III Day Event! I only worked on Saturday, despite the event taking place during the whole weekend!
