Pseudocode isn't a programming language. It just means "write a detailed, code-like description". For example:

Get user to input name
Print out "Hello <user's name>"
Get user to enter their age
etc
etc

yes i understand that but where do i use it? im programming in Visual Studios at the moment can i use pseudocode there or do i have to download some software?

You type it into a text editor (which Visual Studio has - it's the bit that you type code into), or you can write it on a piece of paper. There is nothing to download.

so i just use Pseudocode in Visual Studios like any other project? do i need to add some code in visual studio or select a certain template?

You're not getting the point. Pseudocode just mean "write it down clearly like it was some kind of code". That's it. You could write it on the fridge door in crayon.

Edit:

You could do it like this, for example: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/59022-using-pseudo-code-to-design-application-logic/

oh i see. its just my lecturer said to write out the project in Pseudocode so i assumed it was just another coding language. So theres no way of checking if what i write is correct since i cant compile it or anything?

It's purely to exercise your ability to think about and solve problems in a logical way that can be translated to a program. If you insist of being able to check it, you could actually program it and then use that program as the basis of your pseudocode.
