Could’ve told me Oxford was hard before I got my psych offer Francis. What a bummer! But seriously, I genuinely don’t think I could’ve done it without you. You are such an inspiration man, especially because you’re navigating problems that can be so relatable sometimes, like being overwhelmed or paralyzed by perfectionism. But I truly hope that you can make TH-cam into a vessel to release your wisdom and recent vibes into the world, without worrying too much about dropping a video so good it will be studied as a religion. We really do want you to enjoy making stuff, because we enjoy seeing your stuff. Anyways, I’ll be patrolling Radcliffe camera like an Elden ring npc so watch out. Much love 🫶
Thanks for all of your advice! I’m in the process of applying for my masters and trying to get into clinical psych and this is super useful. Keep on going you got this!
thank you for making such an honest and vulnerable video, i really commend you for being so open! i've only just subscribed, but i'll be sticking around to hear about your journey, no matter when you feel it's the right time to upload again ✨
Genuinely appreciate your videos Francis! I just adore your perspective on a lot of things about your masters. I’m a psychometrician here in the Philippines and I’m quite interested with the way your curriculum works to be honest. Would really love to see you grow and flourish more in your psychology journey, definitely your humor and spontaneity in your videos has made me endeared with your channel✨ Hoping for more powers and inspiration fir you🫶🏻
Great video Francis! There will always be an audience for DClin related videos, it must be hard enough keeping on top of the course without making videos so it's absolutely okay to let TH-cam be a lower priority. I think it would be really interesting if you could do a mini series talking with trainees from different universities about the ethos of their course and how each university differs with the DClin - I appreciate that might get a bit repetitive if you spoke with people from every course but I think it would be cool to see a few examples of how the courses differ?
Heya! Love your channel & would honestly watch any video you upload. I think you have a way with words & video presentation that makes it somehow soothing, yet also informative to watch!
Francis, I was just about to watch your 1st class essay video to help me do my assignment and wondering where you'd been. Don't put pressure yourself to upload, your busy and that's fine. Do you have any advice for doing things last minute? Other than not to leave it to the last minute 😅
Thanks so much! Hahah if only it was easy to not do everything last minute. I was acc gonna make a video like 'what I'd do if I had an exam/essay due tomorrow ' haha - not entirely sure what to put in it yet though. Maybe my first thought is ask for an extension😅
Hi Francis, I am a psych nurse turned medical writer, and it has long been my dream to do a DPhil at Oxford. I absolutely love your content, and think it's so important to hear about the fields of psychology and psychiatry. Please don't try to be perfect. Just rest assured that no matter how often you post, people out here love your content. It's so different to the usual study tube due to its applied nature so please keep posting and focus on the parts you enjoy! X Emma
I've been noticing (?) your channel since last year. Maybe consider doing a comparison for UCL, Oxford, and Cambridge? Cause I did a Master's in UCL then got a job, most of my clients were from Oxbridge, I think this would be an intriguing topic. It might also be super attractive as few people have gone through all these Unis. That's one of your unfair advantages! Maybe something could light up the number if you care about the data haha
Best not to overdo things. You are obviously very driven and working hard. I was wanting to ask advice: a person I know is finding it hard to get NHS treatment for their psychological problems. I have suggested they go private, as they can afford it. How should we assess the right person to consult? Perform quality control as it were?
Thank you Keith - I think that's the problem with private therapy atm, it largely relies on word of mouth or taking a punt based on someone's website or a database. In the UK actual clinical psychologists are accredited by HCPC, and psychotherapists/counsellors by UKCP or BACP. They have databases of people but you're going off limited information
No way I checked your channel yesterday evening because I thought TH-cam had unsubscribed me lol 😭😭😭 I would love to hear more about your projects or research field (scicomm?) or just general postgraduate study life related things. I might be in the minority but I think there's already so many channels already doing Oxbridge content which gets a bit stale and braggy after a while (but that's just my 2 cents)
Glad to hear you've not been unsubscribed! Thank you for the suggestion yeahh I'm happy to speak more about my projects when I've done them😅you're right there's sm content about oxbridge already I think I don't want to make stuff that's more of what's already out there
welcome back to youtube (soon-to-be) doctor madden! 🤩🥳 it's okay to take a break from youtube when your priorities change, you're trying to make the most of a demanding situation and live your postgrad life to the full, enjoy it while you can!!! 💯 the real, lived experience you're gaining would also enrich the quality of your videos down the line, can't wait to see how those turn out :) and perfectionism is a real common problem haha 🥲 chances are, the more videos you make, the better you'll get at figuring out what works, so we're all rooting for you 💪🏻

Hey Francis good to have you back! We missed you! - From a 2nd year PBS cambridge student
Great video Francis! There will always be an audience for DClin related videos, it must be hard enough keeping on top of the course without making videos so it's absolutely okay to let TH-cam be a lower priority.

Thank you! Oo that's an idea, I would've loved to have seen something like that before applying
Heya! Love your channel & would honestly watch any video you upload. I think you have a way with words & video presentation that makes it somehow soothing, yet also informative to watch!
Thank you sm!
