I have an offer for a CDT program but I have two concerns. First, the CDT is in an area where I don't have a huge amount of experience. The program looks interesting but I help questioning whether I will enjoy it. Second thing is that I would be moving away from home to a new institution which I have not visited, for my undergrad I was really close (20 miles) but this new place is over 200 miles away.

If for whatever reason it isn't a good match for me and wanted to leave, but stick out the first year, will I still be awarded an MSc or do you just leave with nothing?

Thanks
