Brunel MSc Psychological Sciences conversion course

Yes, she said it's really common for people to move from full-time to part time for that reason. 30-40 hours a week is quite a lot. I'd like to know the timetable for dates for reading weeks etc so i can plan around children's school holidays etc.

Was I right in thinking that as we do two modules every 6 weeks, we will also have 2 assignments every 6-8 weeks basically?

Yes I usually take time off around the school holidays too. I also want to plan a little winter holiday in Febuary and don't want to do it over a deadline week lol

Hey, did you get the registration email?

I've been on the portal having a feel and look around. There's no dates on the timetable as yet.

Thanks very much! Would welcome any advice from you about whether this course require full time commitment if doing it in one year. I am planning on finishing my job in January to concentrate on my studies but part of me is wondering about taking on a part time job to help with finances.

Hello!

I've recently accepted my offer for a January start and was wondering if either of you has access to our lecture timetable. I haven't received a clear answer regarding whether the course is asynchronous or not. Since I am based in Asia, I'll need to plan my schedule around the time difference.

Additionally, I'm curious about why you chose Brunel over other universities for the psychology conversion course. There seems to be limited information about the individual courses online. I've also applied to the psychology conversion courses at Birmingham City and Roehampton but am still waiting to hear back from them.

For someone being a full-time student, it's better to focus on the study full-time. Though I know some full-time classmates have a part-time or even a full-time job. But we need to bear in mind that we probably want to finish this course with a 2:1. So we have to strike a balance between all the responsilbilities.

Many thanks for your earlier response, Roy! I wonder if you might be able to explain how they give you holiday time (or breaks) across the year? Are these over Christmas and summer for example? Thank you!

Yes, they have the winter break and stuff as you may have seen in the course timetable. But for a full-time student, even with the breaks, it is still a very packed schedule.

Many thanks. I start in May so haven't yet seen the timetable.

Then no need to worry for now. The staffs are friendly and helpful. The instructions and textbooks are well written. You will probably enjoy the journey.

I second the above comment! I was going to start with Ulster Uni but I just found Brunel and I like the sound of this one more! Especially the option of doing it in 1 year appeals to me. Can anybody let us know how they’re finding the course?!

Hi! I am just wondering if you applied to Adern too? I have an offer there but I need to make a decision by tomorrow as they have given me a deadline and I haven't heard back from Brunel. I am going to start this September hopefully but I am cutting it a bit fine now because Brunel are taking so long to answer me

I've just applied for an MSc in psychological sciences at Brunel (online). I will be doing this full-time. Would be great to hear other people's experiences of the course or if you are applying this round.
