MSC psychology and mental health online course @ Sheffield Hallam

I'm interested too, did you manage to find anything or reviews 🙏?

Biggest concern ATM is will the course be accredited by the BPS

have you decided to take the course?

Is anyone currently doing this course, and how are you finding it? Looking at possibly starting this and wanted to hear some views on the content/ support thank you

After speaking to their staff about the course and the fact that the Psychology with mental health course is awaiting BPS accreditation ( which they are highly likely to receive as someone above mentioned the psychology course is already accredited and many of the modules are the same). I felt comfortable to start the course in April. I have just completed the first module Holistic wellbeing and have thoroughly enjoyed it. The format works really well for me and the blackboard learning hub has everything you need , clearly organised . I have been able to contact academic staff for feedback on tasks and if I have had any questions there are a and q boards to engage with staff and students. A student rep has checked in a few times too to see if I need anything. I'm really pleased with the course so far. Please feel free to contact me if you have any specific questions.

Most masters courses wont be accredited because they don't need to be - only conversion courses and those leading to trainee psychologist roles are (forensic, occupational, health, counselling - clinical and educational psychology are doctorates)

Nice to hear you have started. I 'm starting on the 23rd of June and looking forward to it. Thanks for the update and wish you success in your academic endeavours

I applied for this course and their Msc Psychology course, both part time and online for June 2025 start. I was accepted for both. I went back and forth a lot on which one to do. The one you have mentioned isn't accredited and so you would have to do another course on top if it isn't accredited by the time you have finished the course. I have settled on doing their Msc Psychology because this will allow me to progress in the clinical field whereas the mental health one seems to be heading towards academia and research job fields.
I rang them and spoke to someone called Chester who has been really helpful regardless of the fact I've been ringing him like 5 times this week with questions and stuff. He has been really patient and helpful!
Long story short I feel less conflicted now I have settled on it. It would be great to connect with anyone else who will be doing this! I had to sort out some student finance problems today and just joined this site to connect with others
