Hey! I've been accepted for MSc Investigative Psychology too, I'm really looking forward to start in September! I live in Scotland so I'm planning on coming down for the teaching weeks, hopefully will be able to stay in a hotel or something, is that what other people are planning on doing as well? I don't really know the area so I'm not too sure what would be best! :smile:

Premier Inn is not far to walk to the uni. Travelodge is a bit farther, so you would need a taxi or bus. I stayed at both when doing my IP in 2013/14.

Hey I'm doing the investigative psychology course this September too. I just booked the travel lodge ... I think it's a 20 minute walk to the uni but really cheap! Where are you travelling from ? X

I didn't actually have any kind of interview - I applied, was asked to do some follow up questions and then was given a conditional offer. The process only took a couple of weeks :smile:

sorry I couldn't be more help, good luck!

Hi Laura.
I sent off my application form at the end of October last year, and I received an email two weeks later inviting me to an interview. The interview was for January, and lasted about ten minutes!!! They told me it would be about a month before I heard anything back but I received my unconditional offer one week later! So it all happened quite quickly for me. Have you heard anything back yet? Do you live close to Huddersfield?

Hi Gemma, I have been invited to a skype interview and wondered if you had any tips for the interview process.

Thanks, Lauren

I am also a mature student who will be applying for this course. I've not been in academics for ages so any tips or advice (especially the interview) would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I'm starting the course in September as I deferred my offer from last year to travel a bit before hand. The interview I had was really relaxed via telephone and the questions were things like what I enjoyed about investigative psychology/why I was interested in the course and what experience I had with statistical analysis in psychology. Just make sure you really have an interest in this course and it should shine through in your interview :smile:

Hi Cara,
I had my interview back in december and it was relatively straight forward. Why investigative psych, why liverpool, what forensic/clinical experience have you got, describe a project you've done including methods and statistics, if you were recording data in a prison and a suspect died what would you do (nothing but report it to supervisor), how would you conduct an experimeny to judge the effectiveness of a treatment (compare to control group). I got my offer just over a week later. Hope that helps!

Hi Cara,
Sorry I found this thread very confusing because some people are talking about the MSc in Huddersfield and others the MSc in Liverpool. I'm doing the one in Liverpool

Hi everyone,

I applied to Huddersfield for this course and answered the questions I was sent. On average, how long does it take to hear back from this point?

I'm really keen to do this course and keep checking my emails to see if I have heard anything.

Thank you

David
