MSc Cost Question

[philjayj]

Do what I did, get a job with the uni and they let you do a masters for free

The main reason I decided to do a Masters was because I thought my 2:2 just wasn't good enough and I wanted something else on my CV. I chose this particular course as I wanted some business and management education and it was the only one at Warwick that accepted a 2:2.

has it helped you get a better job than if you had just gone into work after your degree ?

I'm doing a masters at the moment and it's costing me an arm and a leg and I'm unsure of my chances of getting a job once I finish.

Make sure you know what you're getting yourself into. They're a lot harder than undergrad aswell.

I do not know yet because I am still doing the course - I finish at the end of August. However, when I spoke to employees during various career events, I mentioned that I had a 2:2 and they weren't too sure whether I was right for the role, but then as soon as I mentioned I was doing a Masters, they handed me their booklets and freebies (of course I only went there for the freebies )
