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

Hi everyone,

I’m starting the MSC psychology mental health and well being online (start Jan 9th full time).

I have literally just paid for the first two modules and then my mum reminded me to check the course reviews, so here I am 😕

Mixed reviews here, worried about the lack of student support and I’m also working full time.

I would like a study buddy because this be a massive challenge for me.

Thanks

Ok let’s hope it’s a good experience for us both. I’m doing part time, I think I’m starting with cyber psychology. Hopefully will speak on a forum on the course.

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.

Hi Rebby, yes there is NO support. I have found replies from facilitators yo students I discussions to be ' it's an MA look back at the question'. Also the questions/ summative assessments have been poorly written thus students are left confused or facilitators couldn't be bothered to reword or change the question online to fit what they want. Instead they tell you at the Q & A a week before submission the changes. I'm soon to be on my 8th module. This course has effected my own mental health. I dread each module due to the lack of support. I have completed an MA at Birmingham University and my experience was nothing like this. You are paying course fees in effect for the module on the system...with no help. I have spoken to students who have completed similar courses at other universities and their experiences are not like this. I wish I had dropped the course in my second module and gone elsewhere..

I hope your experiences are better but doubt it...unless there's a massive shack up in this dept.

Hello,

I am looking at enrolling on this course, starting March 2024. Is anyone else enrolling too?

Hi Ben, hope you don't mind me contacting you. Seen you post a few times on here. I'm on the verge of applying for a March start but nervous! Can you tell me how the modules are assessed? How long is the final dissertation? I've got two masters in English Literature but I want to follow a new route. Any info gratefully received!

Thanks!

Charlie

Hello! Yes, I'm thinking about it - anything holding you back? I just want to make right decision!

Hi Charlotte, each unit is 8 weeks and then most have an assignment or project to hand in. You are supported through the process. Lots of pre recorded micro lectures and reading to do as well as useful activities. The dissertation is at the end after you’ve done 10 modules and I believe that is 16 weeks.

Hi, I am starting in March too! Can you complete a unit in faster than 8 weeks or chose to do 2 modules at once if you are part time do you know? I work in education so will have some more time in the summer!
