I am a very mature prospective student, if I start in September i'll be 48.
Have been thinking for a few years about going back and doing a Masters in history, part time over 2 years. My first degree is in Business and Modern Languages, in the language component I did a fair bit of history / literature / art and having spoken to the Uni I have a fair chance of getting a postgrad place.
But I have read such a lot of stuff about a Masters being such a step up from undergrad, and it's been SO long. I graduated in 1995. Many of the other students starting a masters won;t have even been born then. I have got out of the habit of academic writing, referencing, doing assignments and sitting exams.
Anyone else done similar and share experiences about how they've found things?
