Psychology MSc Northumbria

Hello,
I'm thinking of applying to a Psychology conversion course, most likely the MSc Psychology at Northumbria. I haven't studied Psychology before but have developed an interest in it since graduating and now have a far off dream of working in clinical psychology. Does anyone have any experience of the course (Or any other psychology conversion courses) that they can share? Anything at all would be really helpful as it's a new venture of mine completely? I'm thinking of studying part time as I understand there aren't any grants/loans/bursaries available for this type of course. Does anyone know whether it would be realistic to be able to work 4 days per week and just have the one day off to be in uni? (I checked with Northumbria and they told me that the part time route is 1 day per week but I wonder how much self study is assumed?)
Any advice would be much appreciated!
