King's College London Postgraduate Applications 2012/13

Scroll to see replies

Hello everyone! I got offers for the Health & Society MSc and Health Promotions MSc. I have 2 questions for the group:

1) What are the pros and cons of each program? I'm interested in practicing community-based public health with an emphasis on the social determinants of health. My undergraduate degree is in Anthropology and Public Health and I currently work for a health nonprofit in a high (secondary) school.

2) Has anyone (especially fellow international students) heard back about funding?

Hi, congrats on having offers :smile:

I cant really help you with the first question but in terms of funding, from what I can gather some people have heard back and some are still waiting, so it seems to be dependent on the course you're doing

Hey! I've recently been offered a place at King's for Mental Health studies MSc, just wondering if anyone is doing the same course? And whether anyone is applying for any of the King's postgraduate accommodation halls?

:smile:

Ah well done! I've applied to this course but still haven't heard back, didn't apply until March though. Really hope I get in, I have an offer for the Clinical MSc at Sussex though so all is not lost. When did you apply?

Hopefully see you at Kings! Fingers crossed :smile:

I plan to do mental health in learning disabilities, so we may cover a few of the same modules!

I had an offer but i didn't pay for the deposit, so I have lost my place. Is there any chance to get back my place again?

Yep I live in London. Are you in your final year at uni? I graduated last summer, I'm working at the moment to help with the costs of the horrible fees! Good luck with it all, hope you get your place! :smile:

Sort of. I did my first degree a while back in Media (I'm 30 now), and doing a 1 year conversion graduate diploma in Psychology this year at Cardiff. Yep it's expensive, I had to work for while to afford all this!

I have applied for a FT Funded PhD in Defence Studies at KCL. In my application I stated that if I did not get funding, I still wanted the place but on a PT basis.

I still haven't heard anything. I do not know if this is good news: I am still in the hat for funding. Or bad news: my application is being held back on a reserve basis.

Does anyone know of any announcements in this field of study; either funding news or offers of a place?

The waiting and hearing nothing is killing me....and I need to start organising my life for next year (FT or PT study)

Yay! Congrats! I got accepted into Strathclyde too but opted to go to King's instead. Living in London has always been a dream of mine thats why. Looking at the course outlines I don't think there is any significant difference between the two so either choice is a good choice.

Let me know what you decide, we could be classmates!

That's great! :biggrin:

I was thinking of applying for this programme too as my second option but then luckily, I got into MA IR. Love the 'Funneh' part in your signature, by the way. Hilarious. :biggrin:
