Hey peeps,

Starting my MSc in International Business in September. I know I can't get a 100% reliable answer yet but does anyone have an idea how many classes there are per week on average? I mean am I on a lecture from 8-16 mon-fri or is it a few days a week and rest is independent study?

Hey Rex,

Welcome to the University!

As it's postgraduate study you'll be undertaking, most of it, will be independent study on your own. However you can expect around 8-10 hours contact time at least. This doesn't include any 1 on 1 tutorials with your lecturers.
This can vary from subject to subject though, so I can't give you a concrete reply. Generally though I'd plan to be in 2-3 days a week.

All the best,

David

Hey doc007,

Welcome to the University. As it's a Masters, you can expect a higher level of intensity and study. You will have less contact time than at undergraduate level. But, you'll be expected to do lots more on your own than at undergraduate level.

However, it is also very rewarding, and you'll always be able to turn to your tutors for advice and support.

Regarding the exam format I'd suggest talking to your subjects admissions tutor about that. Sadly I can provide the most of basic of information in that area.

All the best,

David

Hey Doc007,

No, I wouldn't say that! You'll still have plenty of free time to enjoy the University social life or see friends. I mean, I'm doing an MA and there is lots of work, but I still have an active social life. I think the important thing is just keeping up with the work as it comes and starting early.

All the best,

David

hello everyone! I will be living at university hall and I am wondering if I shall buy a private printet? how accessible is printing service in the university? is it expensive? thanks for your advice in advance!

Hey Molimolimolly,

The University printing facilities are generally very good. You also get a free £5 credit upon registering at the University. The LRC's and Reprographics departments have printing facilities a short walk away from Halls.

Regarding cost, I've not found it to be too bad, so I wouldn't say having a printer is required.

BUT, if you can find a cheap printer, it will make things a bit more convenient for you, as you wont have to wait or leave your room to get your work ready!

All the best,

David

Hey geejayy,

I'd need a little more information to answer that one I'm afraid. When did you apply and for what course?

Just in case it helps, here is a quick FAQ guide:
