Well it's one of the overseas unis I'm looking at and there is fairly good research fit, especially among the Developmental Psych faculty! I'm still looking around but I do think that UBC will be the only non-UK institution I'll be applying to (UK institutions being considered: Cambridge, Oxford & Edinburgh). I've heard good things about it and I'd also prefer a 2 year masters in contrast to the 1 year masters offered in the UK. Cheers!

LSE is very prestigious in Europe. Graduate prospects are excellent and I sincerely do not think you'd struggle to get a job in Europe atleast. For more information, check out www.thestudentroom.co.uk (UK equivalent to this forum). Cheers!

Hi Everyone, I realise that you're all busy with your applications and are anxiously waiting for replies! However, I'd really appreciate it if someone could take the time to answer a few questions! I'm currently a penultimate year psychology student who is strongly considering applying to do Masters in either Developmental Psychology or School Psychology at UBC. According to their homepage they require a high 2:1 but there's no mention of how competitive it is. I'm really keen on doing my masters there and I was just wondering if anyone knew how competitive it is and also if a 2:1 (from University of Bath, UK) and a year long research internship at Oxford University would make me a competitive applicant. Furthermore, hopefully by mid-July I should be able to say that I've co-authored 2 published journal articles (currently under review). I know most of you are still awaiting replies but honestly, any comment that would ease my anxiety would be much appreciated! Good luck to all of you! Cheers!
