Thanks for replying. I am actually from Ireland, born and raised here :-) I am just confused because I have looked through loads of forums to see past and current students opinions on courses and Universities in UK but I keep getting mixed reviews. I would just be afraid that I apply to a University, get accepted, and then only a few years down the line when looking for employment, realise that the University does not have a good reputation, and that it looks bad on my CV if anything. On the other hand I know any Universities are competitive in Ireland, but I am not sure if this is the case in the UK. So I obviously dont want to apply to Universities that are merely impossible to get accepted into.

I have thought about NI Unis too...but was under the impression that they are also very competitive course...Perhaps all psychology courses will be overly competitive due to it being such a broad and interesting subject.

I am currently living in Ireland and just finished my conversion course in psychology (PSI accredited). I am really interested in doing a psychology Masters next year in the UK but literally have no notion as to what Universities have a good reputation. I basically want to go to a reputable University that is not merely impossible to get accepted into. I will be applying for a few Universities but as you can expect this financially adds up...so I basically dont want to apply to Universities that are not overly prestigious and competitive.

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Hi,
I will be finished my h dip (conversion course) in psychology this May and really want to pursue a masters. The only problem is Ireland have so little masters and so many people competing for places. So I am looking into masters in the UK incase i dont get a place in Ireland! I really have no idea how anything with regards funding/grants etc work if I do my masters in the uk, and blatantly do not know where to even start looking. If anyone could offer any help I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!!
