ah yeah, thought I forgot some important details!my degree is Major 'American studies' minor 'Business studies'

some kind of history or humanities of some kind seem to be the most sensible options, nothing related to american studies due to the limited understanding of it in the 'wider work place' and nothing business related due to a serious lack of passion!

hello all, new user here, so be kind!first off, got a 2:2 (boo I know!!), from a UK university.

This is a couple of years ago mind!
anyway, been weighing up my 'further education option', and feel that a MASTERS at this point would most likely be an unsuccess option due to my poor first degree results AND me being undecided in a subject. So was feeling a Postgrad DIPLOMA could be a more sensible use of money AND time!
However it has got me confused. I was thinking that doing it through the Open University would also be a possible option, any opinions on this would be gratfully appreciated!

however on the subject of confusion(!), how long are postgrad diplomas taught for?and are they basically a Masters without the final dissertation?

I understand that upon completion, to study for a Masters you can not use points gained from the diploma TOWARDS the Masters?

sorry if this appears rambling, I will try and clear up anything that comes across confusing!

cheers in advance!
