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

Hi, I’m also doing it alongside a full time job and it’s a lot of work but manageable. My BSc was nearly 30 years ago. It’s structured well, well organised, easy to manage, and lots of support offered. I’m happy with the course 4 weeks in.

Thank u so much Ben for the prompt reply.

I’m on my fourth module - started earlier this year and I have mixed feedback. I’ve provided it all to the online facilitators and course team. It’s a shame as it has the potential to be a brilliant course but the basics are lacking.
It’s very hit and miss with online facilitators and if you get a good one, then it’s a good experience, if not it is a really long and tough 8 or so weeks. Some of the content is very outdated and still talks as though we are living in Covid and lockdown, and lots of statistics are US based, not UK - which is unusual as it’s a UK course and not global.
I’m hoping the Mental Health modules are better as the general psychology ones are not much of a step up from YouTube and filled with TED talks.

No I don’t, I stopped after 2 modules as the feedback is a bit rubbish so doesn’t help with the end assignment. I also try to do some of the online discussions but again, it’s not mandatory and they take a lot of time - what you often find is that people post their thoughts and rarely interact with anyone else (which is where the real value comes in)
I’m optimistic that the course leaders will start to listen as lots and lots of people have given the same feedback. Fingers crossed!

No, there is a break in Summer and that’s it I think - 2 weeks. And the expectation is that your modules run back to back, so one finishes on the Monday and your next one starts on the Tuesday. Without a break.
Your results come 3 or so weeks after assignment submission, when you’re already then onto the next module.
Additional costs would be any books you choose to buy, they’re all available online but some you may be particularly interested in and purchase yourself.

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 eveyone.mThanks for all the helpful information. I will be starting this course part-time in January. Anyone else? It will be nice to get in touch with people who are starting then as well, or even with some people who are a couple of modules in so we can have some discussions about it.
Thanks,
Paula.

Hey! I received my unconditional offer for past-time masters psychology mental health and well-being at the university of Wolverhampton. I’ve heard very mixed reviews on the programme of study and wondered if anyone else has already studied or possibly starting September 2023? It would be nice to get in touch with some people.

I spoke to an advisor and the modules etc sounds great! Plus it’s BPS accredited. I’m looking at progressing on to do my PhD in educational psychology.

Thanks in advance x

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

HiCan anyone give feedback on how they've found the course so far? I have received an offer to begin at the end of October and I am weighing everything up - can I do this part-time, alongside a job and family? I did my undergraduate 20 years ago but it wasn't BPS accredited so this and the subject content ticks a lot of boxes for me.

Hi, it’s really good, though can be a bit stressful trying to fit it round family life and work, but well worth it and really enjoying it.
