Agree with Send Clowns. Modular can be as intensive or un-intensive as you like. At least you have the choice, unlike with an integrated course. Also can be done for a much lower price.
Advantages of integrated are that everything is arranged for you, you don't have to plan each stage seperately, find a school for each stage, figure out which stage to do next etc. Which obviously suits sponsers perfectly, but the benefits aren't as relevant to self-funded students. There are arguments about employers prefering integrated students, and I don't doubt that there are a small number of employers who do, but they seem to be very few and far between (unlike the old CAA "approved" integrated course) so I'd ignore that argument.
Personally, I can't see much reason for a self-funded student to follow the integrated route. But I know that there are those who have, and who are very happy they made that choice. It was obviously the right choice for them, so it certainly shouldn't be discounted.
