Story

What is the money for and why that much? I have recently been accepted to study for an MSc in psychology, at the University of Stirling.

I approached the idea of doctoral study, but soon came to realise that, at least for the time being, I was not completely invested in my subject area. My dream is to become an academic, that much I know - the question was in what subject. I came to realise that my true passion lay in psychology - this was a reflective conclusion based on the fact that the majority of my MA course work had an emphasis on psychology.

Secondly, over the last several years, I have become passionate about helping people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

This MSc affords me the opportunity to both convert my BA and to continue into doctoral study.

I feel like I have not reached my academic potential and would, therefore,
