I did my MSc Psychology at Arden (100% online, although there are study centres too). I'll save you the sales pitch but I had a great time. For an unbiased view, check out a Universities Teaching Excellence Framework rating from the Office for Students - it should be available online.

I was impressed with the virtual learning environment, easy access to journals, and the fact it was accredited by the British psychological society.

A big Arden bonus was being able to pay for each unit at a time which allowed more flexibility (maybe the other Uni's do this too I'm not sure)
