Honest opinion and advice about Arden University concerning Msc Psychology (conversio
Hello, I have a Bsc degree in Food Science in my home country and presently working as a care assistant in the UK.
I am presently studying for my level 3 in counselling skills in college and I thought of having an additional knowledge and qualification in Psychology.
I have a few questions and I would love an honest and an unbiased answer.
1. As anyone recently graduated from Arden University with Msc Psychology (conversion) and secured a job with it?
2. How many instalments do they get their fees payment and how much does each payment cost?
3. Is Arden University a good place to study this course compared to Open University?

Hello! I did the MSc in Psychology at Arden and I had a great time. Obviously being a fan of the Uni my view will be slightly biased so I would check out a Universities report on the Teaching Excellence Framework (readily available online) from the Office for Students.
A few objective facts;
•
the course is fully accredited by the British Psychological Society
•
the course has the option of 100% online learning or study centres in major cities like Manchester, Leeds, London and Birmingham
•
the course has a specially designed Virtual Learning environment which gives you access to all the journal articles you will need
•
The course is funded by the Student Loan Company (if you are eligible for a student loan obv)
In terms of the UK, you cannot call yourself a 'psychologist' without doctorate level study, for instance an area like Educational Psychology or Clinical. Looking at progression from an MSc in terms of a job can be misleading. My purpose, half way through a teaching career, was to allow access to funding for SEND learners (long convoluted story) but I achieved that. It helped me gain promotion into a new role where I work.
I honestly can't remember about the loan payments, but there was a flexible aspect of paying for the course in that you could delay the start of some units as long as you finished the course overall in a specific time period
Why not follow Arden on social media? It will highlight when the virtual opening days are
