    Possibly the worst named masters ever, as develoment could be developing anything.

    O rly? I was offered a place but didn't want it, doesn't seem to mix disciplines enough. Joe Cleary is in charge of it though isn't he? Nice guy, gave me my reference and was always very helpful. Good luck btw!

    That's what I am thinking, not so much the subject of the PhD, more the approach, impact to family life, job prospects, etc.
    Hey

    I applied to Trinity to do a post grad in social work, the interview was way back in March. I have tried to get in contact with them, but they havent returned my calls! Should i take it that no news is good news? Has anyone else applied for social work for the 2009/2010 session?
