Wolverhampton MSc psychology mental health and well-being (online)

Thanks for everyone’s input. I am about to join. What do the assessments look like? About 4000 word per module? And how long does the dissertation need to be? Thanks for any help.

Hi, I think it depends on the module, for this first one I’m doing, there’s a 1,500 word evaluation but also graded formative task such as a 3 slide pot presentation with commentary and review. I assume other modules have longer assignments. The dissertation is 16 weeks at the end of the course, not sure how long it is. I like the structure and input from tutors.

Thanks so much Ben. I really appreciate your time and it’s really helpful. And seems doable! Is there any option to do modules quicker? I’m really glad you are enjoying it and the support from your tutors.

You can do it full time where you do 2 modules every 8 weeks - that is one year. I’m doing 2 years part time, just one module per 8 weeks. It’s the same fee regardless of length. They reckon 18-20 hours per week for part time, which is a lot on top of a job, so full time would be recommended 36-40hrs per week spent studying.

Hi it’s a good course so far. I’ve just started my 3rd week but I’m enjoying it. I think it’s well structured. You need to be motivated and good at independent study. There are student forums and discussions and the support seems good.

Ben, do you get the assessment for the module when the modules opens so you have plenty of time to get your head around it?

Hi, yes you do, it’s all set out at the start of the module so you can see what is expected week but week and the end of unit assessment. You are encouraged to start researching and working on the assignment early on in the module.

You need to see how is the psycholy board in Canada I would say. I am in new Zealand and yes the master seems to be valid but I still need to find a practicum myself of 1500 hours here to become registered as a psychologist

Hi Ben,

Hope things are still going well!

I’ve another question if you know the answer! Do you get modules over holidays? Or do they only open during term times therefore adding time to complete? On the phone the other day I’m not sure I understood what the woman was explaining.

Hi, I think it’s goes straight from one 8 week module to the next with a 2 wk break at Xmas and a longer break in the summer I think. Not sure about Easter.
