Postgraduate at Oxford/Cambridge
Hi all,
I recently got turned down by Oxford which was annoying since I felt that I could've worked well there. What I'm thinking about now is potentially applying to Oxford for an MSt in History and Cambridge for an MPhil in History (assuming I enjoy and do well in my BA History for 3 years).
How valuable is a Masters Degree from Oxbridge? I know it's not that amazing or anything, but I want to go into academia/have a career shaped around History, so idk if not going to Oxbridge might really hinder that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
