Psychology Degree
- Thread starter Pittsey
- Start date
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
