Hi, Just wondering if there is anyone who can offer me some advice.
I am currently embarking on my 2nd year of an Arts Degree. Psychology is my minor subject but is now my main interest of study and my preferred career path. I am beginning the research process of possible conversion courses available through distance learning in both Ireland and UK.
I would really appreciate some guidance and advice on my options so I can begin budgeting and planning.
My psychology studies through my arts degree are not recognised by the PSI as it is a minor subject but would they be recognised as possible points in an OU course?
Maybe there is another university which offers distance learning psychology conversion courses which will be recognised to follow a path, eventually into a masters in clinical psychology?
Thanks in advance

Have you looked at oscail.ie?
I did the year one with emphasis on psychology.
Unfortunately they then decide that from year 2 onwards, I had to reference internet sourced material fir x% of my work.
I went to them to learn about psychology but was then told where I had to source material.
