Got offered a Masters in Accountancy from various colleges , Have picked DIT to study their Msc Accounting course. Can't wait to get going :-)

dfbemt · 13-07-2011 12:26am

Thrilled that I've finally obtained my MA from a UK university. Said that was the end of it when my dissertation went in in April but finding myself drawn to further study. Phd is next step really but can I really cut it?

Won't do anything until I sort out a study area at home. I didn't do myself any favours working off the kitchen table or going up to the DCU library for some quiet time, not.

Drawn to DCU for Phd, subject to funding of course.

I started a second masters last year a MSc in Bereavement Studies with the Royal College of Surgeons, but I had to defer after the first module as I became ill. I started again this year, but on my first day I was diagnosed as having a DVT, so far I haven't missed any classes and I don't plan on deferring againg this year. I'll just have to work through the pain.

Doing a Masters by Research (as Gaeilge) with Fiontar in DCU.

Started in January of this year and, while the whole research process has its challenges, I find the topic interesting and plan to finish by June 2012.

Sarky · 09-01-2012 11:37am

Whoop, I got my masters in bioinformatics in December and it seems to have landed me a job with the college as a research assistant for the next few months. If I can get a job out of education, there's hope for everyone! \o/

Princess Peach · 29-01-2012 10:19pm

Hey guys! Just started my MBA a few weeks ago. Have gone abroad to do it as I got a scholarship, so completing it in Memorial University of Newfoundland.

Its taken me the few weeks to get back into the swing of studying so things have piled up a little but starting to get them under control

Love the course so far, finding my classes a lot more interesting, topical and practical than my undergrad.

barleybooley · 03-05-2012 6:53pm

I'm just coming to the end of the PgDip part of the masters I'm doing (Pharma QA and Biotech in DIT) and instead of doing the 6 month dissertation placement, I'm starting a PhD at the end of May. I think I may never leave college...

Hi,

Does anybody know a good site to look for survey responses from people in Ireland? The survey is for my Postgraduate course in Business Management and boards.ie won't let me post a URL.

If any of you could take the survey too, that would be great.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Hi everyone! I am unable to decide whether I should pursue MSc pharmaceutical sciences at Trinity College Dublin or Cellular manufacturing & Therapy at NUI Galway. I completed my Bachelor's in Pharmacy as an undergrad student.[/font]

[font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Background/thoughts: I have an internal war like situation between by heart and brain. On one hand, i think that that the cellular manufacturing course will add a new insight to my career but I'm also worried about the job opportunities after completion of my postgraduate studies, as it is a new subject. When I think about trinity, it is a top-end University but it is rather a regular course. Please give me a lot of suggestions so that I can confirm my seat before the deadline i.e on 04/20/2018. Thank you in advance
