Currently studying MSc Mental Health: Psychological Therapies<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-117\" src=\"http:\/\/caribstudents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/untitled-design-1.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Master\u2019s Students<\/strong><br \/>Applications are usually open by January, and I would recommend applying early as some courses have a smaller intake limit and fill up fast. Most courses will need a personal statement and at least two references. If you\u2019re currently in undergrad, it would be beneficial to develop a good relationship with your academic advisor or supervisor so you can get a good reference from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Financing a master&#8217;s degree is a lot harder than undergraduate in terms of funding available and I was lucky enough to not have to fund mine by myself so I\u2019m really speaking from a place of privilege here.<br \/>For those of you eligible, you can apply for a post-graduate loan from student finance, but the maximum given is around \u00a311k, which about covers tuition and a few months\u2019 rent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some university\u2019s offer scholarships and if you\u2019re currently in an undergraduate programme it might be useful to enquire about scholarships your department has available for post-grad or discounts they have for students who choose to continue to post-graduate at that university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s beneficial to think about accommodation prices when choosing the location you want to do your master&#8217;s in. Both campus and off campus accommodation seem to be cheaper up north. Also, in some cases, off campus accommodation is more affordable so make sure to take this into account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interested in doing your masters?
