MSc Psychology conversion programme

Hi, I'd like to study for an MSc conversion degree in Psychology. I'd be applying a mature student, working part time and I'm also a parent. In short, there's a lot going on so I'd like to keep it all as simple (and hopefully stress-free) as possible. The ultimate goal is to hopefully qualify as an educational psychologist. I know it's very competitive. My first degree was in economics though I got a 2:2 (many of the universities seem to want a 2:1 for the MSc conversion). However I do have experience working with children, especially those with SEN which I'm hoping will help my case. My questions are....Did anyone study purely online? It seems the most sensible option for me but I question if it might put me at a disadvantage. Also, many programmes seem more theoretical than practical. Has anyone found that this has been their experience? I'm based just outside of London. Nearest uni would be Greenwich, goldsmith or Kent. I'm leaning more towards Kent as it's all online but I've also seen slightly more affordable options that are also online, cheaper than Kent and much cheaper than the more so called 'academically prestigious' universities though due to how competitive it all is, it seems wise to just pay more for some of the bigger names or more 'reputable' institutions. Least that's what I've been told by qualified ed psychs. Has anyone found this to be true? Thanks in advance 😃
