Goldsmiths vs Birkbeck for Psychology MSc conversion

I have offers from Birkbeck and Goldsmiths (both part of the University of London) to start the postgraduate psychology conversion starting in September.

I’m just having a hard time deciding which place to choose!

Both are BPS-accredited - at Birkbeck my classes would all be in the evening while at Goldsmiths they’d be during the working day.

Since I’ll be doing the course full-time, I could do either one. My main considerations are balancing the course with looking after my two children who will both be under two at the start of the course (my youngest will be six months old).

Birkbeck is geographically easier for me to get to but I don’t want to base my choice solely on this!

Has anyone done the MSc at either uni & would recommend/avoid?

Or what do you think are the most important aspects of deciding on a course?

I also got an offer from Glasgow which I know academically has the best reputation but the idea of relocating with two kids is a nightmare and the online only degree from Glasgow is more expensive than the in-person degree!

Stay away from Birkbeck; I am a current student.

I was in the same position as you and decided to go to Birkbeck because it was more manageable with full time job and I couldn't find out about Goldsmith's timetable. HOWEVER, I regretted it to the point that I had to quit Birkbeck after one year even though I did very well academically. I don't want to go into details, just in case I would get into trouble but I can tell you it was awful for me. RUN!

Hi, can you tell me more? A couple of other students and I are currently enrolled in the course and experiencing issues with quality of staff and research opportunities. What are you worried about?
