Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

CasB Many congratulations on achieving your MSc with Distinction :) Throughout my teaching career, I've remained a fervent advocate of lifelong learning, and your success only reinforces my belief.

I looked back three years in this thread to your original post and saw that, along with um and LindsD, I passed you a few ideas about composing a personal statement, so I appreciate you updating us with your news.

Very well done! :)

um: you provided valuable advice drawn from your own MBA studies about methods of funding and employer sponsored routes.

Finding out that a student has reached their goal - and enhanced their employability and self esteem has always been, for me, my most important reward. :)

Well done CasB, that's brilliant news, and I'm so glad you're looking at further research including publication, that's another way of 'paying it forward'.

Thank you all!

um, yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the course - it stretched my brain in all sorts of interesting ways, and has definitely improved how I do my job (it was a work-related topic).

swittle, completely agree about lifelong learning. I'm also sure that having a good chunk of work experience under my belt meant that I got far more out of the studying too, as I could relate ideas and theories to specific examples of practice and situations I'd encountered in my career.

CasB: encouraging those returning to learning to place the 'right' value on their range of experience and applied skills is a substantial driver in justifying their efforts and studies.

Just reporting in to say that I received the email today that the external examiners have approved the corrections I submitted, so once the postgrad exam board authorises it next month, I will be Dr Kath. :-)
