Our international postgraduate MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health at King’s College London consistently scores equal to or above on-campus offerings in student satisfaction and quality ratings. However like many online programmes it faces medium-specific challenges in students’ sense of interpersonal connection. In response to a student survey we have created a system that meets the twin goals of actively engaging students in reflecting on and shaping their progression as well as creating a meaningful ongoing personal connection with academic staff. After introducing the learning contract programme history and design data will be presented on its initial impact and student reaction. Goals potential shortcomings and vision for the future of the programme will be discussed.
