Are you staying on to do your Masters then Martin? I considered it (we'll I was going to do a four year MEng) but opted for the 3 yr BSc instead. I didn't want to mess it up in my last year (all the fourth year topics were the ones I didn't take for my third year because I wasn't interested in them 
) I'm still considering doing an MSc though, maybe part time if nothing else, also thinking of doing another degree (also part time, though I can't find the one I want that allows for part time students ) I can't afford to take another three years out studying, I already have a £10,000 student loan to start repaying

I'm definitely staying on for my Master's - it's just one year extra, and a Master's degree is worth so much more than a Bachelor's degree on the market.
Plus, I like to study. If I could, I would study indefinitely, finishing one study and starting a new one up asap!
Cheers, Martin

Will you get two separate degrees then? With the MEng I was only going to get the one, though if I do an MSc, i'll be BSc MSc - just have to find one to do, the ones offered at my uni were too similar to modules of my bachelors so I wasn't allowed to take them We'll I was but only if I took modules I hated and had no interest in

Ah ok. Over here (someone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong ) we tend to use the term MSc to mean a one year course. If anyone does a straight four year course they tend to get an MSci or an MEng (though this is in scientific subjects, not too sure if its the same in the Arts - does anyone know?)

I don't about the arts, but it's that way for the sciences. If you do a masters first degree then the name is changed to reflect it. I have an MBiochem, which just sounds silly. My mate has an MChem, which is equally daft sounding to my ears. And if you do the whole thing in one go it does just count as the one degree, rather than a BSc and an MSc.

ICE What subject are you studying?

He did it at Bath. I know Bath likes to name its degree as close to whatever Oxford and Cambridge are up to at any particular time. It's how I ended up with the MBiochem. We did two six month placements, rather than one full year. Went off for our 2nd year placements all doing a BSc, and we came back and we were doing a masters.Ice said:
