I had my interview this morning for the masters degree course I'm hoping to start in September. I felt like I'd had a bit of a grilling by the time I came out of the interview and I feel I have no real insight into whether I will be accepted or not (although they made it clear that if I am offered a place on the course it will be on the provision that I reach at least a certain class of degree). Either way though I came out of there feeling like it is definitely something I would love to have the opportunity to study if I am lucky enough to get the chance. The course is titled "Counsciousness and Transpersonal Psychology" and covers all areas from the ego, the sense of self, religion, spirituality etc and sounds like it would be perfect for my long-term goals.

I was asked all about my beliefs regarding a soul and things such as whether I felt it was appropriate to study concepts such as an afterlife in a scientific manner and if I thought that anything could be proved from doing so and what if anything could be classed as proof of such things. I tried to forget that I have spent the last 4 years studying the brain from a purely clinical and scientific point of view under the guise of psychology and just answered the questions as truthfully and openly as I could stressing that it was entirely my point of view and not backed up by scientific research.

The class of degree I need to get should I be offered a place I am currently predicted to achieve providing I don't muck up my last 3 exams which I have to take next week and the week after. So now I just have to wait and keep my fingers crossed that I am lucky enough to be accepted and if I am that I stay on track and don't 'lose it' at the final hurdle ;-)

Brightest Blessings to you all.

Wow I think that is awesome that so many of you have returned to school after many years.
