Hey Emma, did you end up accepting your offer to Glasgow? If so, how has the first year been? I will be starting this year, very excited.

Hi all, I have decided to accept the offer at Glasgow (2.5 year conversion via distance learning / part time) :smile:

Hmmm.. I'm also looking at University of Glasgow for the same reasons as stated earlier in this chat. I can't seem to find responses from students who have attended or graduated from the conversion program. Does anyone have any feedback on what it is like to be in the program? For example, do you think it would be manageable with a part-time job and 2 young children? And, any feedback on prospects after graduating?

Thanks! :smile:

I have received offer from Glasgow, Leicester, Northumbria, Brunel and Derby universities. I am leaning towards Glasgow. So hopefully we will be doing this together. I am from Ireland as well.


Hi, I am from England and currently applying for the University of Glasgow's Psychology conversion programme. I would like to know how you got on with it. Also did you get any funding? I already have another MSc funded by SFE, so I am worried I may not get funding for it. I read that Psychology is an ELQ Exempt course for funding but do not know how that applies to me. Pls Let me know how the programme is going and if you were able to secure any funding for it.

Hey aliceD4, I'm currently living in Germany and considering this Msc program part time. Would love to hear your thoughts on your experience? Plus options post education?

hi @aliceD4
I am also considering Birkbeck Msc Psychology Conversion, it's one year full time in London delivered via face-to-face evening classes. The good thing is that the first term (October to December) is going to be online. Perhaps that can suite you too.

Hi Could you please let me know how did you find it? I've been accepted in Birckbeck, Exeter, Glasgow (online), Liverpool (online) and still waiting on others decisions. I live in Egypt but don't mind moving to the uk as I have lived there before however I'm really torn on where to go since there are not alot of reviews on the universities and it's a big move. appreciate the help

How did this go for you? I’m thinking of applying to their online masters in public health but I’m not sure if it’s worth it
