Yeah, I've been out of uni for one year so far and to be honest I don't think I can wait another 2. Anyone got any advice on applying for a Masters. How should I explain my 2:2 if I'm asked for an interview?I was found to be Dyslexic just after I finished my finals so I was thinking of mentioning that, although I don't want it to look like an ascuse. I'm looking at applying to Durahm, KCL and Imperial.
Thx alot for the replys. A career development loan is definetly something I'll look into. Although I don't like the idea of owing more money. Another reason for me to wait is that I don't feel at a high enough standard yet to start the course. I got a 2:2 in Physics and want to do Theoretical Physics which I'm expecting to be pretty tough. I've been improving my mathamtical abilities and being a perfectionist is taking a long time. Im thinking its best to wait a bit longer and be fully prepared than risk getting a 2:2 again.
I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. Last year in 2006 I graduated from uni. Since then I've been working as a temp saving up to do a Masters. It looks like I'm gonna need about £10,000 to pay for tuition fees and accomadation. I'm hoping that next year in 2008 I'll have enough money.
Today I thought about waiting another 2 years before going back (in 2009) as this would give me plenty of time to save up and will mean i won't have to save every penny I earn and can use the excess on other things I want. I would also like to experience the world more and maby travel a bit as well etc. The reason for me posing this is that I'm a little concerned if waiting 3 years after I graduated is too long. Should I try and get back into education as soon as possible or go in my own time?
