Educational Psychology: MA VS DOC??

anitack · 2013-08-19 15:50:27

Hi all, I'm looking for advice on getting into educational psychology. I have been accepted into the two year Masters course in UCD but am wondering am I better off holding out and applying for the Doctorate in Queens or one of them in the UK? It seems the masters in UCD will eventually turn into a doctorate level course…

Hi all,

I'm looking for advice on getting into educational psychology. I have been accepted into the two year Masters course in UCD but am wondering am I better off holding out and applying for the Doctorate in Queens or one of them in the UK? It seems the masters in UCD will eventually turn into a doctorate level course but when that will happen is unknown, but it is likely I'd have to upskill down the line if I had the MA. However, the MA would still be a recognised qualification and perhaps work experience is the key to employment opportunities.

Does anyone know which route is better to take? Any advice or information greatly appreciated
