Hi all,

Eventually I want to become an Educational Psychologist - a long path which requires two years experience within education and a degree in Psychology (which I have) to enter the professional course. A Masters isn't a specific entry requirement, but competition is so tough I'd like to complete one.. I'd just like some opinions and personal experiences regarding which of these courses would be best for me (or alternative courses if you know of any!)

1. MSc Psychology - Atypical Child Development. Queens University Belfast.
1 year, full time: Anyone have any idea how "full time" the course is? Would I be able to work alongside it to get my experience in an educational setting? This one is maybe the most relevant.

2. MSc Behaviour Analysis - Applied. NUIG. 2 year, full time but lectures are only one day a week so I'd be able to work too and get my experience.

3. MA Education. UCD. 1 year, full time. Probably the least likely of the three, but I'd like some opinions on it. I thought it'd increase my knowledge of the education field. It has modules about how psychology is applied in schools, and counselling psychology.

Thanks in advance for any help and opinions.
