I have a place on a psychology conversion course, starting September, which is distance learning. Does anyone have any experiences with doing the online conversion-how did you find it, would you recommend it (or do you think face to face is better)? I have some experience of psychology through my job and a prior qualification, so I won't be starting from scratch. Even so, I'm aware the courses are really demanding and just wondered what people's thoughts were?

P.S Does anyone think online learning puts you at a disadvantage re career prospects, or will employers not care so much?

Thanks :)

I haven't done a psychology conversion course so can't comment on that specifically, but I did do my psychology MSc via distance learning/online with the OU, and it didn't put me at any disadvantage (I got a funded PhD straight after it).
