Im a first year at Queen's university doing a masters in Mechanical Engineering. Only just found this here forum today ....
I've only been on my course for a few months now and already I can definitly agree with the point that the courses (well certainly the engineering ones) are very theory orientated . While thats a bad thing for us making it through the course with a humungus workload of endless equations at the end of your time there it means you are going to come out with a far stronger degree , Queens isnt renowned for its engineering courses for nothing. And if money is your game then who do you think is going to earn more for less in the engineering process , they guy doing the theoretical design or the guy doing the hands on work ?

i done this course, loved it. loads of work, i left after the BEng though graduated in 06. i dont agree with the staff turn over thing, the guys who taught me have been there for years and are still there now.

regarding the comment above about money, where your degree is from (or your final grade) dosnt matter after your first years experience ime.

bot all the way.

Hi i'm a new poster so dunno if i'm doing this right!!
Jst lookin for a bit of advise!I got a provisional offer of a place for Masters in Env Planning in Queens pending me getting a 2.1 in my final exams.
Jst got results there now and I got a 2.2 (high 2.2 of 58.7), wondering if there's any point in sending up results, how strict of a cut off is it r is there any room for negotiation?? any one in a similar situation?thanks!

Contact admissions asap (you never know how undersubscribed your course might be... ) and it might also be worth shooting off an email to Dr. Murtagh asking about it (brownie points!). You don't ask you don't get right?

Good luck, maybe I'll see you in September!
