Re: Should I choose UCL or KCL?
I think the practical side of things can actually be more important for some people. But yes - only the individual can decide! If I lived in London I'd def go for the IoP just because that would suit my lifestyle better (location, where I'd want to live, etc.).

Re: Commuting to Placements and Uni during training
I am currently doing a 1.5 hour drive for placement. I haven't tried it via train yet but it is an option. And it is tiring. But it is also manageable (so far). I only go in three days a week, as can work from another base (closer) or work from home, and my supervisor is very aware of the commute an...

Re: Mileage Tax Relief - Temporary Workplace Relief for Trai
Hi guys, I am just bumping this - do you guys complete it just for each financial year, so keep a record for miles over the entire 12 months then submit before the end of the year? For some reason I had in mind that I could do a monthly submission?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: Should I choose UCL or KCL?
I guess there are little things like the fact that the UCL cohort is really big (is it 30-40?) and the IoP smaller, so 12-15 ( I don't know for sure - that is rough) and also that with the IoP all your placements would be with SLaM so you could easily live near to both placement and uni. I'd go for ...

Re: Viva tips
Oh I see - no, I was just referring to the major research project. For ours it's around 8k I think - with the requirement for a systematic review of the topic, which I think is around 5k, or 4, not sure - so 13 or 14 overall, can't quite remember. All other work - case reports, service evaluation, e...

Re: 5 things I'm thinking today. . .
1. It's been 48 hours without sugar and tbh, 1-5, it's all I can think about - serious withdrawal! :( (Ate a lot of it over the weekend so think my tolerance has increased). 2. No time to go out to get cake or biscuits either, as I have a deadline tomorrow, for which I can't get motivated for, thus ...

Re: The Great Big PhD Tea-Sympathy-and-Celebration Thread
Good luck guys! To hopefully inspire you, I passed my viva with very minor corrections last week - delighted. The viva experience was good, though I did prep for about 5 days beforehand - mainly just rereading my extremely long thesis. Pick examiners wisely would be my advice...i.e., people you or y...

Re: Viva tips
I had my PhD viva last week and it went well. Obviously it is different, but I am guessing on some levels it is going to be quite similar. I reread my thesis really thoroughly (obviously 100,000 words is a bit different to the dclin one - our course word limit is tiny, for e.g.) and had a glance at ...

What experience did you have when you got on training?
I've been following this for a while too and thought I might post my experiences in case there's anyone else like me out there. I'm 43 and have been re-training myself for a career in psychology having previously worked in communications in the NHS. I decided that I wanted to move to a career in ps...
