I am playing my second favourite game this evening (after the Rightmove game) of looking all the different Masters degrees on FindaMasters. Some of them sound so interesting.

Ok, so I failed my masters by 1% (dont go there, I complained got no where) so was awarded a Post graduate Diploma. But as I studied the full course I hope it counts!

Archaeological Material Sciences

What an absolute fucker, @Pericombobulations.

I would love to do social work but can’t afford it

Business Management, specialising in Project Management.

I'm doing a PhD now but in a different area - more in line with my work experience than with my first degrees.

Quoting myself to say, it was interesting and relevant for my career at the time (HCP) but I don’t use it now. It wasn’t expensive as my employer sponsored me to do it as CPD. Fantastic if you can get it but I think opportunities for that are rarer and rarer these days Sad.

Just started an English MA. Really interesting!

Specialist community public health nursing or SCPHN as we call it in the trade

Pericombobulations · 18/10/2020 19:10

@JonHammIsMyJamm Yes was a total shit storm. Complications included not being told I was about to have a viva and getting in there and forgetting very basic stuff (I tend to go rabbit in headlights in these situations). Also was with a very abusive boyfriend which made life harder not that I could tell anyone at the time.

I later worked for the university and read all the things I could have done and should have been told about at the time (their rules stated students should be informed of their options) but I wasn't, by that time there wasn't anything that could be done sadly.

Biopharmacy - and the maths for the pharmacokinetics was something else!!
I thought about doing another in Travel Medicine much later on my career but settled for a certificate.
DC did one in history specialising medieval witchcraft which sounds far more interesting.

Does your DC’s name begin with A? My friend did an MRes looking at medieval witchcraft!

Medicinal Chemistry, straight after undergrad(which was also chemistry). Don't use it at all now though.
