The factors that drove me to accept the offer were: World ranking, campus and location, well-rounded course structure related to all branches of Psychology, focus on scientific aspect of Psychology. What I liked most about University was the social aspect in terms of clubs and societies, and the focus on providing a well rounded Psychology background and the practical work we did. These factors also led me to choosing this particular program.

It was the one that suited my interest the best. When I finished my BA in Art Studies, I knew I wanted to specialise in Music Education. After intensively researching the MA programmes in various universities. I concluded that UCL was, undoubtedly, the one that would be able to suit my needs the best.
