    I've been told by numerous people that the "degree isn't worth the paper it's written on". Can anybody she'd light on this?

    Has anybody gone to DBS & done a MA after? Or am I just wasting my time (& money:()

    Not true at all. The degree is awarded by QQI and is recognised by the Psychology Society of Ireland. It's a very well regarded degree. Would you do full-time or part-time?

    I'm currently doing full time! In my second year now but was looking for MA courses so I know what I'm working towards and a couple of people (just friends making comments in passing) have said that it's basically just paying for a degree to be handed to you. Obviously I know it's really difficult stuff and you have to keep on top of it but I wouldn't know in comparison to a university so I was just worried!
