Hi all, new to this forum. Whereas I do a lot of CDP each year for my memberships of profession bodies, I'm a psychotherapist. I haven't done any serious study sine I completed my Reseach MA in Psychoanalysis is 2002. I also have a BA in Psychoanalytic Studies.

I have just benn accepted on to a MSc in Bereavement Studies run by the Irish Hospice Foundation and the Royal College of Surgeons. Its part of my bigger plan for my PhD, however, I plan on more study after the MSc before I start that. However, it's one step at a time, lets get the next two years over first.

I'm 25 and going to be starting my Masters in Library and Information Studies in UCD in September. I graduated with a BA in Psychology and Media in 2007, so i've had a nice break from deadlines and wordcounts.

I was torn between doing the MLIS and doing gender studies in trinity/ucd, but i decided to do the one that qualifies me for a job more directly, and i can always do gender studies stuff in my own time. Really looking forward to the course, and to moving back to Dublin, and really hoping to eventually get a job in Canada -i hear they're quite good for hiring librarians apparently!

Started an MSc in Environmental Science in Trinity last September - it's grand so far anyway.

I've been offered a place on this course in Trinity too, don't know if i can accept it now due to lack of funds thanks to new grant rules, but I really hope I can...

Hello all

Long time lurker first time poster here. Despite being a member of Boards for years I only found this little corner of the forum towards the end of my masters!

Just finishing a taught Masters in Political and Public Communication in DCU. Hope to maybe do a research MA in Trinity in History next year after a few months away from study (and a few more euros in the pocket to fund it)!

Hi All

Good luck everybody, with your courses this year, or your break from courses.

Finishing up an HR related research masters at UCC and starting a PhD researching leadership psychology/organisational change via an applied research project.

Not entirely sure what I've let myself in for, but can't wait to get started!

Hiya,

Just looking for advice and options really if any1 can help. I currently have a honours degree in Social Care and want to do a postgrad in the area of addictions/mental health/family support!!

Problem is i dont know if i want to do counselling or what. Wht other options do I have???

If i was to pursue counselling path would i need to start from scratch and do a counselling course or can this be done as a postgrad?? also could you specify what area you wanted or do u specialise after in an area??

im really interested in working in the areas i listed above so if anyone could help me out and give me a few options to help me out that would be great. Kinda stuck at a crossroads at the moment.

Thanks roxy21
