Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health MSc


KING'S COLLEGE LONDON, UNIVERSITY OF LONDON
Overall Rating

This isn't a university I would recommend to anyone who wants to feel like their environment is aware that the 21st century is going on. You will certainly get a prestigious name on your resume and that has its own worth. But you will work harder than necessary to do so, in an environment that takes the position that the University can never be wrong (even with hard proof).

Student Union

the only good part of the Uni

Clubs and Societies

Uni Facilities

I'll speak mostly to the online aspect and as with everything else in King's it's not designed for the end user, or with any logic of people who live in the 21st century. You spend your time desperately trying to figure out what logic could have been used to hide what vital piece of information you need and where they might have put it. Try asking for help and you'll get more of the sense of abandonment to your own devices that runs through the course of your experience.

Course and Lecturers

Turns out that King's doesn't teach you what you need to know about the topic, but teaches you what it's faculty has worked on. This is primarily research that King's has been paid to execute. It has an unusually pro-Pharma stance (guess who does the research for Pharma). King's allows some rather inappropriate personal stances of its older "more distinguished" professors to be passed off as learning. The overall courses are designed in a way that's extremely myopic and not at all a proper preparation of getting a broad view of what you're studying. Essentially you'll leave indoctrinated in what the King's researchers believe to be true, but missing large chunks of vital information to be considered well rounded.

City Life

Job Prospects

If you want to work for the military their job placement is useful. Anything else is difficult as you will be spammed on a daily basis with advertising that King's is paid for to get you to try and sign up for the military. (Also you are taught pro-military chapters in your coursework...wonder why)

Student Support

You'll read about all of the support that is there for you, but you'll discover that in theory it is there - in practice, it's a mirage.
