My husband did a 4 year sandwich course, failed a year which made it 5 years.99yorkpj wrote:Well I've actually put in Edinburgh as my first choice, so it looks like I'll be doing a 4 year MA anyway! But thanks, it's encouraging to know that I may've made a good decision for once!
I did my degree at Glasgow - Ma Hons in Archaeology. The Scottish system is quite good in that it gives you years 1 and 2 to study your chosen core subject plus 3 or 4 subsidiary subjects. Then you specialise for years 3 and 4. So you study a wide range of subjects, and have the opportunity to change subject within faculties or decide to do a joint degree (something I would heartily endorse as you are then exempt from a 20,000 word dissertation!). BTW, Glasgow has a very good reputation for Theology, and is a great city in which to be a student. Ignore any bad press you've heard, Edinburgh is just as 'mean' (see 'Trainspotting' and other ethnic tomes by Irvine Welsh)!99yorkpj wrote:Well I've actually put in Edinburgh as my first choice, so it looks like I'll be doing a 4 year MA anyway!
