MSc Psychology

Here for traffic.

Applied for an online BPS accredited MSc Psychology at Brunel. Does anyone know anything about this course, their online provision or Master's Psychology at all?

Need to decide if it's right for me pretty quick. That is of course if they offer me a place. Come to think of it, anyone know how hard getting a place on it is ?

Is it the conversion MSc?

I don't know the course, but they have a good rep as a uni and a good faculty in psychology. Are you wanting to follow one of the postgrad psych disciplines and need to get your conversion first?

Yes conversion course. They are offering it wholly online which is awesome. I've only ever associated Brunel with engineering so glad to hear the faculty has a good reputation. Thanks.

Hoping to move away from science teaching into teaching psychology level 3 (will probably end up teaching it this year anyway due to staffing constraints).

Interested in subject and really fancy a higher degree.

Sounds fine then, as long as it will be enough of a basis for that.

I'm a little surprised you don't have to study some entry level psychology to qualify though. Normally to get GBR in psychology on a 1yr masters course you need to have studied some psychology already IME, but maybe they've just made this course more intensive, and if they have BPS accreditation then presumably they've covered all the bases on content.

Seems like no previous knowledge needed. Expecting it to be intense. I do have a sound biological and statistics background which will hopefully help with some of it.

I'm opting for the 2 year part time programme.
