Hi

I am hoping to embark on an MA in October. I have narrowed it down to 4 courses at 4 different institutions that look ideal for me, I have contacted them all and they all still have places available. Should I apply to all four and then decide which one to choose when (or if!) I get accepted?

Also, what are the most important factors on deciding which course to take? RAE scores? Reputation of the institution?

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Dan

Hi Guys

Thank you all so much for your replies. Plenty for me to think about! I am leaning towards the idea of getting my MA first, it may be a slower route but I think it will be a stronger foundation....

Hi

I'll try not to ramble on, but here is a little history about myself. I graduated from MMU in 2005 with a 2:1 in Film and Media and after a stint in the music industry I have decided to go back to Uni to pursue my ambition of becoming a lecturer specialising in history and theory of landscape photography in in the United Kingdom.

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any advice as to whether it would be a better option to get my MA before embarking on a phd or to go straight for the phd? I am recently married and need to work full time so obviously I would prefer not to spend two years doing my MA if it is not really required to get me onto a Phd!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Dan
