For anybody studying/has studied the MSc psychology conversion at Exeter

I've been offered a place on the psychology conversion course at Exeter to start in September 2021.

Just wanted to ask current students for their thoughts on the course, i.e. pros and cons.

Thanks

Same here. Congrats to you too. And just like you I'm also looking for feedback from current students. Anyone out there?

Does Exeter's course have BPS accreditation now? I remember last year many were unsure of applying as they couldn't guarantee they would have this confirmed/in place by the start of the course in September.

Yeah it is accredited, but you're right - I just looked it up and has only been accredited since the current academic year. Phew

Great, even I have been offered. I am a bit confused about where to go as I got offers from Edinburgh and Exeter.

Congrats! I was actually considering Edinburgh, but travel would be a bit too expensive for me (I live in Kent). I applied to Cardiff and Exeter, I only got a conditional offer from Cardiff (condition was to organise my own work placement). So I decided on Exeter in the end

I am coming from India and so travel is already involved. I am not sure if the subject related ratings for the unis and other parameters still holds good for this Conversion program?
I have unconditional from both the uni's hearts calling is to go to Exeter and Brain says go to Edinburgh. Huuuuuhhh I need guidance to choose the one.

The website below has a ranking of unis for psychology, it also shows you the parameters which the rankings are based on. I think they are for the undergrad psychology programme, however I assume we would benefit from the same lecturers, resources, career help etc.

I personally chose to apply to Exeter because it has an optional module for students interested in educational psychology, which fits well with my aspirations.

Best of luck whichever uni you decide on

Congrats! Do you have any idea what you want to do with the psych course?
I recently did a biomed degree and working as a school tutor at the moment. Looking to eventually become an educational psychologist.

Thanks buddy for sharing the link. I did check it already and even I am planning to take the elective "Clinical Psychology."
I will post on this thread to let you know if I choose Exeter.
Good luck with our future studies 👍⭐

Hey I am also interested in applying to Exeter. I just wanted to see how your experience was. Would you recommend it? Do you think it's possible to go straight into a PhD after graduating from the conversion course? Thank you!

Hi, how was your experience at Exeter so far? I got an unconditional offer so if you can share your experience, that would be wonderful.
