[Ind] Should I transfer from University of london (online) to an offline University abroad
Hi everyone. I’m currently studying an online [University of London]and my first semester will end around April this year. My modules are Biological Psychology and Research.
Recently I’ve been seriously considering moving to an on-campus university next year instead because I feel like I want a real campus environment, better interaction with professors and students, research opportunities, networking, and overall a more immersive university experience.
I’ve realized I’m especially interested in cognitive neuropsychology/neuroscience-related areas, but I’m also interested in the clinical side of psychology. Long term, I can see myself wanting to pursue both clinical training and eventually a PhD/research path.
That’s why I’m questioning whether staying fully online is the best choice for me, especially since neuroscience and clinical psychology seem very research heavy and experience oriented.
I’m confused about whether I should:
try transferring credits after this semester,
continue online longer and transfer later,
or restart from Year 1 in an offline university next year.
I’m okay with restarting if necessary, but I don’t know how realistic international psychology credit transfers are, especially for modules like Biological Psychology and Research.
Would really appreciate honest advice from people in psychology, neuroscience, clinical psych, or academia.
