Anyone know a decent online BPS accredited Psychology Master's degree?

It kind of needs to be online because my nearest uni takes about 2 hours to get to so I'm hoping I don't have to commute, but I'm not in the position to move any time soon either. The uni I went to doesn't offer online courses, although I can get a 25% discount on the fees I guess.

I've not been able to find one that's online, BPS accredited, doesn't cost more than the £12k loan amount, and doesn't have absolutely abysmal reviews about being ghosted or basically scammed, or the staff being useless and everything being disorganised and stuff.

The 3 that were perfect other than the terrible reviews were Derby, Wolverhampton and Portsmouth, so I don't know if anyone has any personal experience with those.

I’m currently doing the BPS-accredited (for Graduate Basis of Membership) MSc Psychology (conversion) degree with the Open University and would recommend you taking a look based on what you’re after. I did an undergraduate degree with the OU previously, so am accustomed to the interface and delivery of material, though there are course-specific differences. I have gone with OU as I currently work unsociable and very variable hours, so couldn’t commit year-round to any courses that required a consistent face-to-face time slot.
