Postgraduate Life Sciences reviews
The Bioethics MA - highly recommended
St Mary's University College (Twickenham)
Philippa, July 2010Overall score
A challenging learning experience, many thought provoking talks and discussions, well organised and mostly enjoyable. The part-time and long-distance option was ideal in allowing me to continue my other work and family roles while still being able to complete an MA. A useful qualification to have and very relevant for current issues.
Study experience
Material well structured and delivered. Good mix of internal and guest lecturers. Approachable and supportive tutors - sometimes beyond the call of duty. Financed it myself and have no regrets in doing so - money well invested. Being spread over 3 years helps financing!
Facilities
Teaching excellent. Used online library/journals a lot but little use of college library as not there much. IT support prompt and efficient.
Postgraduate life
not really relevant as only part-time and long distance, however have made some useful contacts from the course that I will maintain. This was enabled by online discussions and occasional day lectures.
Job prospects
An MA is almost always useful. The bioethics MA is a challenging MA that covers a wide range of disciplines - philosophy, law, ethics, medicine, sociology, public health, religion etc. As I work in the area already it will be a real help to have this MA - not just to have an MA but from what I have learnt from the studying itself. Some very useful contacts made too.

Hard Work but Rewarding and Inspiring
Biochemistry Dphil
Oxford University
Katharine, November 2007Overall score
I have loved the traditional style of Oxford, the chance to have individual tutorials and the world renowned scientists who leacture. It can be daunting and stressful at times but by carrying on trying you can always overcome those times.
Study experience
9-12 hours lectures, quite hard work but always inspiring. Lectures are generally helpful and tutorials give lots of chances to ask questions.
Facilities
Amazing facilities, many different libraries, plenty of computers. The bars are great and there are lots of different sport facilities.
Postgraduate life
Hundreds, you can do anything! I sing with a choir and have helped with charity work in the past. The Oxford union (a debating and social society) has a lot of invited famous speakers.
Job prospects
Lots of opportunities for further study and high recruitment rates. Studying at Oxford has made me sure about what I want to do with my life!
