Psychology is a popular choice for UK students in their secondary school curriculum. Policy makers and elite universities, however, express concern about the subject. The British Psychological Society (2013) commissioned a detailed study of the provision of school curricula in psychology and as part of this work a survey of students was conducted. There were 870 responses to an online survey which used similar questions to a previous survey in 2001. The quantitative data showed a consistent set of responses across the two surveys and confirmed the high regard for the subject held by students. The student representation of psychology in the UK is of a subject that is interesting, engaging, challenging and relevant. The risk for the continued high regard of students for this subject comes from a bias towards historical account in the syllabuses, the attitude to the subject of policy makers and the advice given to students about subject choice by universities.
