Hello! I would recommend for an unbiased review check out their Teaching Excellence Framework report from the Office for Students - it used to be the QAA who did this. It should be readily available online.

I did my course at Arden University which had a 100% online option (as well as blended) and I had a great time.

I would say an essential purchase to help you is a book by Coolican called 'research methods and statistics in Psychology' - absolutely invaluable.

Have a great time!

Hi, I would also be interested in this info! I have applied for the KCL Online MSc, I am hoping to get feedback from current or past students. Online will always be more difficult because you have to be so much more self motivated and disciplined. However, hopefully online still offers good support and you don’t feel isolated in it.
