Marketing is a really tough school to get into lecturing wise. You will be expected to have considerable 'hands on' experience in industry plus [probably] a PhD. That is unless you've undertaken considerable work with a big time agency. Not trying to rain on anyones parade. Have a look at the Lecturing job ads in the THES, they usually detail suchlike.

Also bear in mind that the IT industry in the UK is suffering big time. Is it worth while getting better qualified in the subject area when job prospects are so poor.

Just bear in mind you can never go bankrupt on a career development loan.

8p or 80p? I wasn't aware you could buy much these days for 8p.

You could ask them.

I used a personal one, but I'm a mature student so other factors came into play. Do you think one of yours will provide an unfavourable reference, hence the query?

Thats barking.

'...or will prospective employers think I'm nuts and work shy'

YES they will.

I was joking.

Well I hope so anyway.

'I personally do think it is accurate and there are many academics who do not care'.

Probably those academics that did their qualifications all at the same uni.

It was sound advice. Move labs.

'It used to be considered a 'bad' thing to have only studied at one place, but not any more'.

I personally don't think that’s accurate. I am informed that studying at one University throughout is still frowned upon in certain circles. I personally wasn't inclined to chance any career repercussions down the line, and was accordingly willing to make certain sacrifices. Others aren't. Ultimately, it’s a personal choice.

Probably best directing them to the Course tutor. Questions like yours rarely ever get an answer on here.

I was similarly advised that if I wanted a career in academia, it would be better to gain qualifications frm a variety of institutions. I undertand your reasons inductible, but it does somewhat yes [IMO], unless of course we are talking a top 6 Uni in your field?

Speaking from your wealth of experience gained in the last 24 weeks then? I'm only teasing you btw.
