'Life - in the end - is about families, kids (if you want them), relationships'

In 'your' opinion about2defend. Not everyone see's it that way. Your situation may be influencing your judgement somewhat?

Distance PHD in English

I think what you intend will be very difficult [the French can be bureaucratic and not that amenable to circumventing it for the individual I have found] but if you do have success could you post here phdlicious as people [me for one] will be interested.

A friend of mine at Lancaster was telling me that continental European Uni's after a slow start are now getting in on the game of offering Masters and PhD degrees in English. Apparently it’s hitting trade a bit hard. I find the Dutch and Germans very good regarding English.

Should I apply for it?

Thank you both. You learn something new every day.

I always thought undergrad degrees were bachelors [Bsc/BA] and postgrad were Masters. Doesn't that apply with engineering? Just curious.

Are you British guitarmanjon? If so what's a undergrad masters? New one to me that.

Distance PHD in English

Strangley thats not entirely the case Mia. The French, Dutch and Italians are becoming increasingly open the 'English' PhD's. I may be wrong re the DEA [see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEA_(former_French_degree)]. It 'was' obligatory - not entirely sure now. If anyone has any further info re what has replaced the DEA, I'd be interested.

Feeling the need to justify your choice of spouse/partner

I was seeing for a long time a well-known fetish model. She was seen as 'good fun' by the [MSc] academic staff that ever met her. I presume it depends greatly on the narrow-mindedness of the individual staff concerned.

Do you have a DEA? If not it's going to be mission impossible.

Should i be concerned?

I have been told that the word 'thrice' and 'aforementioned' are obsolete words.

They are talking bollocks, and should buy a dictionary.

England's World Cup team of 1990 [I believe] tried to get Wham song titles into every TV interview. Sad bunch. Still better than the present incarnation.

What would you think?

'NO ONE of my referees forwarded my references on time'. And they want MORE money.

Should i be concerned?

As a bit of light relief I got so fed up of people not reading stuff at MSc level that I started including spurious references to see if lecturers noticed. W. Rooney (2005) ‘My story so far’ was a favourite, as was V. Beckham (2002) ‘Learning to fly’. No one ever commented. Sad really. Sorry to sidetrack DJWickid.

People who don't complete their doctorates

Sorry millavi but having read your above post I tend to concur with MistaG.

MSc grades and PhD funding

I don't know what subjects all you 2.2ers and Master's passers are in but in my game [Computing] its almost 100% obligatory to have a 1st AND a Masters with Distinction [I'm told]. Obviously less studentships in Computing.
