Psychology Degree

[_carmi]

^maybe he'll go to school part time? then it'd be doable. + he's doing this for leasure so it's not like he needs to rush it.

One of the best schools for anything, especially psychology, is Oxford and Cambridge. I know bit about the school rankings in the UK, but I'm not familiar with the application process.

Could you attend a top-notch school as a part-time student? I'm not saying this for you, although maybe you could do it, but do they offer part time students some classes? Or just some for people that are bored?

I would love to listen to a professor from Oxford. My history professor had PhD from University of London and he was a smart man. It was a intro. level history most of us needed for a humanities requirement so he didn't delve too deep into the info., but he was one of the best professors I had when he lectured.

Are you planning to single courses or go for a full degree? If the later, I have to ask...how can you manage to work full time raise a family and attend school full time?

He already said he's taking part-time classes. You can get a degree while doing the part time thing. For example, most MBA programs have evening/part time programs for professionals.

Also, from what I gather, Pittsey is not married. He has a baby mama and a son he takes care of but it's possible he might be sharing him with the boy's mother.

Is anyone on this forum married? I mean, save for vg..he's a good boy. Otherwise, it seems like my high school in here, with drug addicts, drama queens, and baby mama drama.

^Casey is married.

 

[Pittsey]

I am married. (at the moment)

And I intend to take this course part time. I only need to attend about 4 hours of lectures and then I can work on my assignments or whatever, at home. Or at work.

I don't intend to go to Oxford or Cambridge. As A) I am not bright enough, and B) I intend to go somewhere 15 mins from where I live. If I was 19 again, I would do things differently. But I wouldn't study Psychology.

he could do it part time, mayve even the open university - educate yourself from home...

edit: or what pittsey just said in the post above, a local institution.

You need top grades to even consider applying. Then there's an interview and tests. The demand is massive. I didn't get in :/

Isn't it like Oxford and Cambridge are mostly known for humanities? At least that's what I've heard.
Anyway the truth is that these days the difference between great and above-average universities is not really big - it's more about how renown they are. In the end you might learn more at an average university if you don't want to rush. Especially with courses that are just there to help you and guide your own education which you're after, I guess.
Good universities are usually much more demanding though so they might not be a great choice if you're willing to just study for your own pleasure. In fact the pressure might make you hate your course. That's what happens to IT students at my university and other good universities here who weren't desperate to put a lot of effort to complete them. I have friends who work and study part-time things that are there just to support their main majors and they usually pick universities and courses that aren't as demanding but don't suck. I'd say those that are in top10 but not the most demanding of them.

Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge. One of the most important places to study and do science in Great Britain. Not bad for the social sciences, like psychology, either.

Were you a realistic candidate to begin with?

 

[dilla]

Coming back to correct myself on psychology and employment, at least in the UK.

[Pittsey]

Nice to know.... Not that it influences me either way.

 

[dilla]

Well after your career in EE, maybe it's something you may want to look at. But things may be different then.

Yes, I should have gone. Didn't get the grades tho. Am happy with where I went and had a good time so it's all good.

why was he banned?

 

[Flipmo]

It's just for 24hrs. It's the beefing with Casey, he started going all out verbal and said he didn't care about the repercussions. Nothing against arguing, but when you start dropping F bombs and attack a person personally we can't allow it. Others have gotten temp bans over it, and it shouldn't be different for anyone; new or old members.

 

[Bobby Sands]

oh ok. i hadnt noticed anything tbh.

 

[vg4030]

Hes on a time out

.. I hadnt noticed anything either (apart from in that movie thread)

 

[THEV1LL4N]

if only fast food restaurants were willing to ban his ass as easily...
