I got an offer for BSc Biomed for September this year and I’m considering going !! I was mainly worried about how it wasn’t in any ranking/leagues but this video really helped, thank you
Hey marios ! Thank you soo much , i am looking forward to do a conversion masters course in psychology; your videos have really helped me, probably by next year i will start with my masters; if i came to birkbeck i will definitely like to catch up with you brother 😉 ❤️
This is such a helpful video! I’m applying for Masters in Art History with curating, but debating between Birkbeck and Westminster… however it seems that Birkbeck has more research area for it. Could you advise, maybe you’ve encountered someone of MA Art History?)
Hi Luisa, I’m afraid I don’t know anyone who did that subject or went to that department. Search for the forum called the student room and there might be some testimonials there.
I was working so I didn't seek them out, but I'd treat it as any other recruitment/careers centre and say they are a helpful bonus but don't rely on any single source. You should be doing most of the work yourself, making connections, reaching out to people, offering your services for free where you can.
Hi, thanks for your video, very informative! Do you know of anyone completing any law (LLM) courses at Birkbeck? I’m considering this course for the upcoming year and would love more information from a student’s perspective on this.
I'M A LAWYER BUT CURRENTLY AND PASSIONATELY INTERESTED IN A MASTERS DEGREE IN PSYCHOLOGY, BUT I HAVE BEEN DENIED ADMISSION BY MY FAVOURITE UNI IN UK BECAUSE OF A PASS IN MATHS IN MY SECONDARY SCHOOL( EXAM I TOOK LIKE 20 YEARS AGO) PLS I NEED HELP WITH THE BASIC/ELEMETARY STATISTICS IN PSYCHOLOGY TO ENABLE ME PREPARE AND NOT HAVE ISSUE IN THAT AREA, AS I WANT TO APPEAL OR ACCEPT ONE OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT HAS GIVEN ME ADMISSION.
A lot of clinical experience. ClinPsy courses are very difficult to get into and will usually require work as an assistant psychologist or similar role. Some people do additional MSc or Certificate courses but not strictly necessary. Check out the unis you want to do ClinPsy at and check their requirements.
I recently graduated my Bachelors in Applied Psychology in India and i want to continue my Masters in UK and i recently got an offer from Birkbeck in Msc Psychology conversion, If i take this course will i still be able to continue DClinpsy or PsychD and become a clincal psychologist?
If you want to take the masters, go for it. But if I weee you I would try and get my Bachelors in Applied Psychology accredited by the BPS, as this would mean you don’t need the conversion MSc. You could apply directly for DPsych/DClinPsy but will need relevant caring experience and maybe a certificate in psychological therapies or counselling. Keep in mind DClinPsych is a different beast and incredibly difficult to get in to.
@@Marios_CG So if i’ll be taking Msc in psychology conversion course in UK i probably have to apply for BPS Graduate Membership right from India or can i apply after my admission to the University?
@faktluangi If you do the MSc , you’ll automatically get a BPS accredited degree because the MSc is BPS accredited. What I’m saying is you may not need to do the MSc at all, just get your Bachelor’s reviewed and accredited by the BPS and you save yourself the money from paying for the MSc.
Hello! I am planning to do my undergraduate in psychology either in the UK or the USA, and then pursue my postgraduate in the UK to practice my profession there. The USA degrees are accredited with the APA. Thus, I would have to do a conversion course to get BPS accreditation. I wanted to enquire about the cons of doing a conversion degree as opposed to a normal masters course. Will I be put at a disadvantage when it comes to job opportunities or being able to practice in the UK with an American bachelor degree and a British masters conversion course? And for the masters conversion course, would you suggest taking a general Msc Psychology course or one that specializes in a certain field? Thank you!
You can only do a conversion psychology course if you have already done an undergraduate course in a different subject. A normal masters course in psychology is only possible if you already have a psychology undergrad. Therefore the conversion course is only for people changing path into psychology, a normal masters in psychology is for furthering your existing psychology university training.
Only if you want to become an accredited psychologist or if you want to do more degrees that require BPS accreditation in the UK. Have a think about what kinds of jobs you're wanting to do after, and only do the conversion course if those jobs/courses require a psychology degree/conversion course.
Hi. Great video. Could you please tell me about the scope of this course in UK. What are the job options that we can get after the completion of this course. Is it a relevant course for a candidate who is from a BA English, BED background. Kindly guide me on this dear brother.
Here's a good video on that:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_9ORdRwgSS8.html&ab_channel=GetPsyched It's better for you to think of what job YOU want first, not what all the options are. You might decide to do something that doesn't require a conversion course so don't waste your money.
Hi Marios, thank you so much for the information. I'm planning to do a part time psychology conversion master with a full time job here in London. My did my undergraduate in Law and there was zero quantitative element in it, and neither for my job. Would you say the foundation course is a must for this degree, or the master's itself would equip you with the relevant skills? I also don't see a foundation course offered by any other universities - is this unique to Birkbeck? Thank you!
Hi! Glad it helped. No you don't need the foundation course, I don't think Birkbeck provide it anymore, it's probably just part of the first year now. Ask them if you can prepare in any specific way if you haven't studied statistical methods before, I'm sure they'll be happy to help.
Hey, I am Ashish from India.I complete my study in Master of Arts in psychology. I want to choose one year good Psychology cource in UK.can you please suggest me which course is good?🙏
Hi Ashish, why are you looking for a UK Masters in Psychology when you already have one from India, by the way? You could get your Indian MA certified by the British Psychological Society so that it counts for the same as a UK one - that would be a lot easier and cheaper for you, saving you doing a whole second Masters.
@@Marios_CG I want to do any perticular course like child adolescent or counseling psychology. Can you please suggest me which course is good for future?
@@TheClassicMusicCover it depends what you want out of your future. If you're wanting to go into counselling the process is very different (and you have to focus on getting practical experience). I am actually looking into how this works in the UK so perhaps I can make a video on that. I would suggest looking at the accrediting bodies in the UK and their recommendations: British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), Association of Child Psychotherapists, British Psychoanalytic Council, UK Council for Psychotherapy
You need a medical degree to be a psychiatrist, not a psychology degree. If you want to be a counsellor, psychotherapist, or something like that then you need to study those subjects and it varies per country.
Hey i am planning to apply there for my bachelors do you think that there were people older than you there all were all of them teenagers typically beginning university right after school
I was on MSc so it’s probably different. But I think the BSc was more younger people but still compared to other unis has more older students than usual undergraduates
They are. It's much easier to work around a full or part-time job, or you can get experience via an internship that takes place during the day. I think it means you can be twice as productive during your study time (as long as you don't overload yourself!)
@nicolececile6253 all of those will change over time - I finished my masters three years ago, so the best thing for you to do would be to get as many past papers as you can from the University so you understand the format. Also your course guidebooks will tell you about what percentage they count for etc. for preparing for exams: Write out the model answers for each of the questions in your past papers and then memorise them so that you can write them from memory (with a timer is best). That is the best method I have found.
Greetings Mr Marios, Would you recommend Birkbeck for Data Science? I understand that it's not related to your field but i can't seem to find any advice from anywhere?
If it’ll give you the skills you need to get the jobs you want, you would like to study in the evenings, and want the ability to work at the same time, Birkbeck is a great choice generally.
@@Marios_CG Thanks for your response! I would like to ask one more thing that as an international student i won't benefit from evening classes because of work hours limitation. I'm considering Berkbeck because of it's good ranking and comparatively decent fee. Does it's name benefit our career? (Can we claim we studied from UoL?). Most importantly i expect to network with the mature employed students for future job prospects but i get the feel their will be very few of those and most will be international students?
Hi, thanks for making this video! I was wondering in your experience if it was possible to do a lot of the lectures online if we weren't able to attend in person? Also whether you think it would be possible to do a full time version of the course with a part time job - 2/3 days (the opposite to you sort of!) Thanks!
Sure thing. Yes I think you could reverse the time layout between work and study as you say. Birkbeck record all lectures so it's easy to catch up or revise through those which is convenient. Though I would say (unless you know you work otherwise) that it's a lot easier to focus/get into the rhythm of a real lecture rather than a recorded one. Plus you can ask questions and hang out with your classmates. Hope that helps.
