Hello! I am a student from India, and I have applied and received Offer Letters to do my Masters in the field of Theatre Studies at Leeds, Dundee, Exeter and at East Anglia.
I have never been to the UK before, and so I have very little apart from the websites and promotional material to go on when making a decision. I was really hoping some people here who have experience with these universities could help me out, and advise me on making a decision!
Here are some more specific questions to give you an idea of what I'm looking for:
- Faculty. What are they like? How open are they to unconventional research proposals with an international focus? How renowned are they at what they do?
- The University as a whole. What is it like? Would you recommend it as a good place to do a postgraduate in this field, in terms of social life, cultural life etc.?
Finally, is it worth it?? I'm going to be funding myself with a combination of part-schols and loans. It's a lot of money, and I'm hoping it will be worth it! I love drama, and want to explore it at an academic level, with good Faculty guides that are not always available in my country...
I'd love to have any advice whatsoever.
