Hello! I studied at Arden doing my MSc Psychology (conversion) there, the course was and still is fully accredited by the British Psychological Society which I would argue is essential. The University is also held to account by the same quality control bodies as other Universities such as the Office for Students (it used to be the QAA back in the day).

A key selling point is their specialism in online learning, I have worked in H.E/F.E for over 10 years, studied at 3 universities, and Arden by far have the best virtual learning environment I have come across with easy access to journals. I did the 100% online option so I can't speak for the study centres in Manchester, London, Birmingham etc.

Courses are also student loan eligible (providing you meet the usual criteria of course)
