Yeah, it was good. A bit repetitive at times. I enjoyed the IE most - a chance to look at stuff that interested me, and ignore the bits that didn't.

Puts me in the happy position that as long as I scrape a pass in my next course, I should be good for a 2:1.
Anyone else?

Cheers all. It does require a lot of time/commitment - I don't think you could do it unless you were interested in what you were studying. (You've seen my ironing pile!
) I'm doing it for 'fun', but now I'm approaching the end, I'm half wishing I'd done something a bit more useful. Still, I've learnt a lot of stuff I didn't know I didn't know. Never got a degree at the proper time, so nice to prove to myself that I've got what it takes.

OuchOriginally posted by northernladuk View PostAmen to that. The fees for the MBA are ridiculous. 13K to finish the course while I was on it. I can forgoe a few nights out to not waste that.
Mine is 8K over 2 years but I know they're putting the fees up again and will probably end at ~10k
