Hi,
I just got accepted for an MA course which runs September 2009 to September 2010. I need to backtrack and check the course details because I applied for four courses and the details have got a bit mixed up in my memory. But typically, what can I expect from the year, particularly after April? As I understand it: autumn term, spring term, exams at Easter, then focussing on my dissertation and a few tutorials in the summer? How common is it for people to do internships in the summer while still working on their dissertation, and what if they have opportunities for an internship abroad while still expected to be attending tutorials etc at their university? Or what if a student just needs to be abroad for personal reasons through the summer while writing the dissertation --- is this possible, or is the student expected to remain close to the university?
Thanks.
John
