Choosing a masters subject can be difficult, and it always helps to hear from current students on what their experiences have been. So, for today\u2019s blog I am not only writing about what I think are the best things about this course, but I have also asked my classmates what they think, too.<\/p>\n
I found it hard to choose my favourite thing about the course, so instead here\u2019s my top 3:<\/p>\n
The first thing I love about this course compared to my undergraduate course is the smaller class size. This year there are only 27 people on the course, which means you get to know everyone. We\u2019ve become like a little family \u2013 quite dissimilar to my undergraduate cohort where there were 200+ students! This makes group work so much easier and everyone is willing to help each other when needed, which is very helpful when deadlines are approaching!<\/p>\n
The length and structure of lectures means that you get to know the lecturers better, and they get to know you too. You can tell the staff are experts in what they are teaching and are enthusiastic about their modules, which means they are more than happy to meet you if you need help or want to discuss anything further.<\/p>\n
Finally, for me, the content of the course is one of my favourite things. As the course is BPS accredited, we cover all of the topics required by the BPS, which means that we get such a deep insight into Occupational Psychology and its relevance in today\u2019s workplace. I genuinely find the lectures and readings interesting, which makes doing work so much easier and enjoyable! If you want to know more about what modules are included on the course, you can see them on the Management School’s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n If these three things aren\u2019t already convincing you to study Occupational Psychology at Sheffield, here is what some of my classmates said when I asked them what their favourite things about the course were \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cTimely and informative feedback is one of my favourite things about the course!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI love the fact that lectures are interactive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI enjoy the amount of group work we get to do, it makes learning the theories and content more effective.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe usually get two days a week without any lectures timetabled which means we can complete our work to a high standard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere are people from all around the world and from different backgrounds which means you get to learn and understand different perspectives of Occupational Psychology, and make loads of new friends!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt is BPS accredited so I can get Chartership if I want to later in my career.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe lecturers make sure we understand the knowledge practically as well as theoretically, which will help when we start work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere is such a broad range of modules which gives us a great insight into the different areas of Occupational Psychology\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThere is a good mix of exams and coursework.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I would recommend this course to anyone with an interest around occupational psychology, and am so glad I chose to study here. I hope you love it too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Emily Addison, MSc Occupational Psychology Choosing a masters subject can be difficult, and it always helps to hear from current students on what their experiences have been.
