MSc Psychological Therapy in Primary Care 2021

For those of you who applied to this course back in October, I have a few questions:
How did the interview process go?
Where are the hospitals that you work in for placement and which campus are you at?
For the Stirling campus people, have you ever had to travel to the Dundee campus for a lecture?
How are you finding the course?
What are the hours like for placement?
On the entry requirements, it said that experience isn't required, so would me volunteering with a mental health based charity stand out to the interviewer?

I graduate from my undergrad course in April and I'm going to apply for this course in summer this year, I'm nervous about it because I've heard that people who come straight from undergrad aren't really considered, I hope that's not true lol.

I'd love to know this too! I'm planning on applying this year for 2023. I did my psychology hons in 2017 then did a mental health nursing degree pretty much immediately. I'm currently employed in an intensive care psychiatric unit as a staff nurse, but I don't think nursing is my jammy jam (tired of putting out fires all the time and not actually really helping people)

Hey :smile: I’ve just finished a BSc (Hons) Psychology at Stirling and I too am considering returning to do a mental health nursing degree. Did you do this too? What is it about MH nursing that you don’t like specifically? I’m trying to get all the facts before I commit to another 3 years bachelors 🥲😆
