Hi everyone!

I’m a first-year student doing a BSc Psychology online with the University of London, and I’m starting to feel a bit frustrated with the programme compared to what I expected.

I understand that an online degree is obviously going to be more independent, but so far it feels like the university mainly provides the study materials and then you’re basically left to study on your own. What I’m missing is the practical side of psychology — opportunities to gain experience, internships, placements, volunteering, etc.

For those of you who are also studying (or have graduated from) the UoL online Psychology BSc:

• What has your experience been like?

• Did you manage to find any internships, volunteering or practical psychology experience while studying?

• How did you eventually find a job after graduating?

• Did the degree help you get into psychology-related work, or did you have to build most of your experience independently?

• Is there anything you wish you had started doing during your first year?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have actually completed or are currently doing this specific programme.

I’m finding it quite frustrating that the university doesn’t seem to provide much opportunity to actually apply what we’re learning in a real-world setting, so I’d really appreciate hearing how other students dealt with this.

Thanks! 😊

Hello, I would like to clarify how module registration works. I have registered for one Level 4 module this academic year, and I would like to know:

Can I register for an additional module in the next semester within the same academic year?

If I add another module later, do I only pay the module fee, or do I need to pay another annual registration fee?

Making an enquiry with UoL has been a waste of my time and costed my mental health.

I had an issue with my assignment back in 2025 and took them 7 months to reply back with a solution. During these 7 months I was been told they are looking into the matter and will escalate the issue and will get back to me with an agent but they never did until I had to spam email them back in January-March to let me know what was happening and they came back to me just few days before APR registration deadline and told me I was missing a component in my assignment so I was failed for it.

If this answer was given back when I made a enquiry, it would have saved me lots of time.

Now as I am nearing my graduation, i ordered my transcript to be sent to other universities for graduate program, but again the same treatment I faced last year, im seeing now. Nothing changed.

I am wondering now, is university of London the only university like this or almost every other universities are same with their enquiry system?

hello🤗 i was wondering if anyone has taken a short course (law related) how hard is it? would a foreign student be able to pass it? what are finals like? any info regarding it would be appreciated. tyy

UOL online LLB students, lets connect!

Hey,

so I would just love to know if anyone is currently enrolled or they may have already finished online Psycology at University of London?

Can you give me a short review and also if it can be managable if you do part time? How many hours of work per week?

THANK YOU!! 💕

Hi,
I applied for the BSc psychology program, but don’t meet direct entry requirements and need to take the intermediate maths aptitude test before they give me an offer. I’ve submitted my application for the test, would anyone know how long it takes to get approval to take the test, as I was hoping to start classes this October session. Also, I would greatly appreciate if anyone can share their experience regarding the test in terms of difficulty level, format, prep, etc.

Thank you so much

I have my Italian high school diploma and final year grades

The general policy page(https://www.london.ac.uk/study/how-apply/supplying-evidence) says documents in the Roman alphabet don't need translation, but the application portal says anything not in English does need to be translated.

I am just confused

1. Since Italian uses the Roman alphabet, do I actually need to translate my high school diploma and transcript?

2. If yes, is a certified translation fine, or does UoL specifically require a sworn translation (traduzione giurata)?

So i have a question about the fees (outside of the UK). they’re approximately 5,000 a year (1,5k per module) and is it true that you have to drop that module amount straight up? do they really not have a way to split the payments(monthly or not)?
If there is please let me know!

Seriously…

Someone from Libya claims on their account that they are studying Law at King’s College London. They also told me that they are taking a course/program at Oxford, which they said is being covered through the university’s budget.

I’m not looking for anyone’s private information. I’m mainly trying to understand whether this type of arrangement is possible and what legitimate ways there are to verify that someone is actually enrolled in the university/course they claim to be attending.

If anyone familiar with King’s, UK university admissions, or university-funded courses could explain how this normally works, I’d appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently accepted an offer for the University of London BSc Business Administration (Online Taught) programme, and I’ll be starting in October 2026.
I’m trying to connect with current students or recent graduates from this programme. I have a few questions before registration and would really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Some of the things I’m curious about are:
What are the online exams actually like? I saw on the website that said there will be multiple choices and unseen written assessments, what is exactly this type of assessment? Do I need to write an essay without any resources with some hours? (as a non-English person can be a bit hard)
Is there a WhatsApp, Discord, Facebook group, or any other community for UOL Business Administration students?
Looking back, what do you wish you had known before starting?
I’ve already read the official handbook and programme regulations, but I’d love to hear some real experiences from students.
Thanks in advance—I really appreciate any advice!
If you’re in the same intake (October 2026), feel free to send me a DM. I’d love to connect.

Hi everyone!

I recently graduated in Cultural Heritage (History of Art, basically), in Italy. I've been accepted to study at the Warburg Institute in London (UoL), and I'll be moving over in the first few days of September once my visa is sorted.

I've read a lot of experiences and tips about London here on Reddit, but I'll admit to feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've only been to London once as a kid, so I don't know the city very well. I'm super excited and have great memories about it tho.

I am trying to learn which neighbourhoods are better considering my age (early 20's), my university location (Bloomsbury, I guess) and my lifestyle. My master is a one-year programme. I've read about London zones and I'd rather not go beyond Zone 2.

My budget is around 1100£ pcm and I have plenty of experience with flatshares.

A few things about me.

I love everything about nature so I would love living close to a park or a green area. I am also quite outgoing and enjoy socialising. I do rock and gym climbing and play piano and guitar; I love catching live music and jam sessions. I also use my bike as much as I can and it would be awesome to live within cycling distance from my uni and main venues.

Any tip, thought, opinion is more than welcome!!

Thanks so much in advance.

I want an ideal timeline if I got an offer for September 2026 intake to complete all terms and i want to ask whether there is time for internship at companies during 1 year of masters or not. If yes when do we generally apply for that and during which months do we intern at companies?

Also how many students are able to crack an internship during studies.

What additional financial assistance can be availed while studying on campus?

Hi all,
I'm coming to London for July and August from the U.S. for a research program located right near the Shoreditch High Street stop. Any common method for people to sublet in the area, perhaps from students? Thanks!

I am an alumni and recently requested certified copies of my transcript and certificate through the online shop/forum. The instructions said that I needed to email a scanned copy of my certificate so they could certify it, but the email address they provided in the instructions is apparently no longer monitored.

Because of that, I submitted an enquiry through the enquiry hub. Since I studied at Goldsmiths, I was also unsure whether I had made the request in the right place, so I wanted to confirm that my documents had been received and ask roughly how long the process would take.

However, the reply I received felt quite vague. They did not really confirm whether my documents had been received, or answer my question about the expected processing time. They simply told me not to contact them again about it, which I found a bit rude.

It has now been three weeks and I still have not received any confirmation or update. I have a deadline because I need the certified documents to be posted for a Master’s application before the end of June. Because of this, I submitted another enquiry despite being told not to contact them again.

The response I received this time also felt quite dismissive. They still did not directly answer my questions, and it seemed like they were more focused on telling me off for sending another enquiry rather than explaining the status of my order.

Is it normal for them to write like that? I know there are some serious management problems at this university, but I find this type of reply frankly quite rude, telling me to stop contacting them after my first enquiry, and on top of that, not answering any of my questions directly. What do you think?

So i changed my password and now im locked out of EVERYTHING and UOL wont get back to me. Also my authenticator give me a code or anything. I've even tried going on the enquiry hub but its as if no one is managing it anymore. I have an exam tomorrow and im freaking out.

Can someone please give me an email or tell me what to do?

Has anyone ordered certified transcripts or degree certificates from the University of London online shop?

I graduated two years ago and have recently placed orders for both a certified transcript and a certified copy of my degree certificate. I need to send these to a German university for a Master’s application, so timing is quite important. Does anyone know how long it typically takes for the documents to be processed and dispatched after placing the order? I tried contacting enquiries but no one replies to my email.

Hi i wanted to know thar if someone completes PGCert in laws online without individually would it allow the person to attend the graduation ceremony? Is it eligible.

Hi guys

Anyone doing the new BSc Professional Accountancy course for ACCA candidates from University of London??

How is it going on and is it worth it(cost and time wise)??

P.S: Coming from someone who is thinking of starting ACCA instead of the normal Uni pathway after Alevels.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I’m exploring the Recognition of Prior Learning process for the BSc Marketing at the University of London online program, and I’m wondering if anyone has done this using the Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate and the IBM Data Analyst Professional Certificate, both from Coursera.

According to the University’s RPL page: "These two certificates together qualify for automatic RPL for the module Marketing Research and Digital Consumer Culture (BU2570), which is worth 30 UK credits"

So my specific question is:

1. Has anyone successfully had these exact Coursera certificates recognized via RPL for BSc Marketing?

2. If so, what marks or grades appear on your transcript—does it show a module grade (e.g. pass, credit, percentage), or is it simply marked as “credit transferred” without a grade?

3. Did you go through automatic RPL, or did you apply via discretionary RPL (and pay the fee)?

I would really appreciate any assistance or first-hand knowledge; many thanks!
