Postgraduate reviews

Definately for a masters!

Public Policy MSc

University Of Bristol

Gemma, December 2007

Overall score

Im studying a postgraduate masters course here, Im not sure i would have enjoyed spending 3/4 years here doing my undergraduate but this year has been wicked so far. I graduated from manchester university and i loved it there and met the best people, if id studied here at bristol i dont think i would have done as most people who study at bristol university dont seem like my sort of people. Being from the north myself i find southern people arent so welcoming at up in manchester!!

Study experience

the course is really interesting and the majority of lecturers are really engaging. The course material is also exremely interesting but be prepared for alot of reading and essay writing!!

Facilities

the library is good, but as with most librarys the books are in high demand, many of the librarys also close pretty early but our SU is working on getting a 24 hour library

Postgraduate life

There are lots of societys to choose from, but being a postgraduate i found them all pretty undergraduate orientated so am not part of many myself

Job prospects

Ive heard its good, hence doing my Msc here!! It always does well in league tables also.

A masters that works towards a successful career

Occupational Psychology MSc

University Of Gloucestershire

Details Not Given, June 2010

Overall score

the need to get experience alongside their studies, and to read throughout the whole course, not just at the end!

Study experience

lecturers who are chartered psychologists with real experience who also care about your well-being on the course. a lot of self-motivation is required for this course, you're certainly not spoon-fed. if you put the effort into lectures and reading around the course, you'll get a lot out of it.

Facilities

the library may not have many books but they are all useful and the library staff are helpful with reserving books etc. there are always computers available throughout campus, in my experience.

Postgraduate life

did not join any because i live away from university

Job prospects

i will be looking for a job, and am hoping to take a route further away from my masters in the field of counselling and clinical psychology. however, there is plenty in the subject matter of my course and also the skills developed through the masters that i will be adding to my cv.
