Edited my post as i saw your from Australia, i was basing my replies thinking you were from the UK. Is the masters program similar to the UK one? As you said the masters is 2 yrs the diploma is 1 which is different to the uk structure

Hi Johnni, and cheers for replying :smile:

A masters program here is usually around 1.5 years. I think the one I'd be undertaking though would be 2 years, though, after more research.

A diploma is 1 year.

Why, what are they like in the UK and do they take longer/less time??

Ah, OK, that explains some of the confusion.:smile:

Taught master's degrees in the UK usually take one year and a diploma course would be roughly two thirds of that, i.e. around 8 months.

Thanks Hobnob :smile:

Haha, yeah we take our time here koz we has the beach! :biggrin:

But right now, I feel I don't have that much time anymore, as I'm gonna have to work to pay off my mortgage etc. So that's why I didn't want to undertake something that would cost me a lot of TIME, unless work was helping to pay for it :p:
