European Business, Culture and Languages MA
Oxford Brookes University
Bel, February 2010Overall score
This course does *not do what it says on the tin*. If you are interested in business other than marketing than this is not the course for you. It should be renamed 'UK Marketing, some UK HR (personality test, intercultural communication and timeline of the creationg of the EU'. If that is what you are interested in you may enjoy it. There are only about 60 or so taught hours so effectively you will be paying 100pounds an hour, which quite frankly is a lot of waffling most of the time. If I could rate it a 0 I would have - one good thing is that as they seem to only accept people with very diverse backgrounds so it is a very nice little group that tends to be brought together.
Study experience
As mentioned above there is a lot of waffling and not really very much valuable content (except some UK marketing) that is being passed on. Teachers have used previous years' tests and were surprised why those who knew candidates from previous years got much higher grades than those who didn't. This particular teachers also admitted to trying to 'trick' us in the test and hence wasn't testing our knowledge but ability to remember specific sequences of names for policies rather than content. You will get very little help in finding a placement and if you want to write a dissertation about a subject not involving the above named fields you will not receive any support.
Facilities
The library has hardly any copies of the required reading material which is also required for lots of other courses so no chance of getting them. If you are lucky enough to find a book you can only reserve it for one week or 2 and no concessions will be made for postgrads or those who have to be abroad for their study. Group rooms are impossible to book unless booked at least 1 week in advance and can only be used for 2 hours, computers are impossible to find in the library but can easily be found in other rooms. The food court is incrediblky expensive and consists of the typical chains you will find in london train stations and have very limited opening hours. After 5pm you will have a tough time finding anything open.
Postgraduate life
The one good thing about this course is something that has nothing to do with the course or what you're paying for and that's the student life and the people you get to meet. If you do choose this course do not opt to stay on campus as you will be bound into a long contract that you are most likely not going to be needing.
Job prospects
Employers might not be aware just how bad this course is and therefore just take the masters at face value though I have struggled to look for jobs as the course has not been related at all to what I want to do and therefore cannot give specific examples of what I have learned in interviews and so on.

American Studies and English MA (Hons)
University Of Dundee
Stewart, December 2007Overall score
Uni is really good and there a wide range of courses to be taken, halls are good in 1st year, its difficult looking for accomodation after 1st year but the uni is good though.
Study experience
The course is good, in 3 hours per week. Lectures are always helpful and they for you. Advice, never leave an essay to the last minute.
Facilities
Library is good but never enough computers especially at busy times like exam times. We have sport facilities but never really use them.
Postgraduate life
I am not a member of any club but I do participate in the American Studies nights.
Job prospects
I have not really though about it, studying has helped with what I want to do and hopefully find a decent job.
