Do You Think You'll Do A Postgraduate Degree? (1 Viewer)

[redruM]

I'm enrolled in a postgrad diploma (might go onto a masters maybe) at the moment...and I'll be starting my CA next yr.

 

[dion7789]

Im only in y 1st session of uni but at the moment i would like to go onto a PhD...it just depends on how the next 4 years go, but the plan is to do one

 

[jemsta]

my course already has honours, so that would probably be enough
unless i hated working then ill consider studying for masters, but thats highly unlikely

 

[Sprinkles~]

Maybe yes, maybe not.

I have no idea, I'm not even sure about what degree I want to be doing now!

I'll have to make it through undergrad first lol.

 

[ari89]

I'd consider an LLM at usyd/unsw

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

at the moment, no. I'm already spending 5 years at uni as it is, and i want to start teaching as soon as i graduate (after all that's what i came to uni to prepare to do). i have briefly, vaguely thought about possibly doing honours in performance studies if i can...but that would probably come later down the track, if it happens at all.

 

[JhK89]

No!

 

[xoa]

I'm thinking of doing postgrad echocardiography, or some other professional development course which becomes available. I'm definitely not going to return to uni fulltime.

 

[rozymisty]

I will be for sure. I want to become a midwife, so that involves one year post-grad, but you get to work 2-3 days paid in the hospital which is good.
And I also want to do a degree in paediatrics as that would be very interesting.
Plus most hospitals now offer some inservice days and funding for postgraduate studies which is really good.

 

[Iheartpaulfrank]

Yes, but I don't know what. I don't want to leave uni

 

[Ennaybur]

I have to if I want a job.

 

[watatank]

what in?

 

[Triangulum]

I might, depending on what I decide to major in. I'd like to, mainly because it'd be cool to have Doctor as a title.

 

[Ennaybur]

what in?

(if you're talking to me)

eh.. don't know really. Psych is looking like something I could do well in and has v good job prospects.

average salary appears to be something like 40 - 70 K with the option of more.

I would also like to actually have the 'doctor' title.

You can call me Doctor Ennaybur.

I'll probably end up doing some sort of postgraduate degree depending on what direction I take after my undergraduate studies:

- If I decide to go the public health direction then I'll be required to do a MPH (master of public health)
- If I become a physician and decide that I want to gain a decent position at a teaching hospital then I'll probably end up doing a PhD in an area related to Neurology/Psychiatry/Infections Diseases
- There is also the third possibility that I could become disillusioned with med and try to enter a post-grad philosophy program

 

[Ennaybur]

yeah, I am aware of that fact. I was referring to that 'also' being another reason why I would do extra years at uni, not just the job.

I'll probably become disillusioned with philosophy and do postgrad med.

 

[Iheartpaulfrank]

Yeah I'm looking towards Psychology, perhaps even Philosophy. Call me Dr. Iheartpaulfrank. Hah.

 

[Ennaybur]

philosophy is pretty much the least employable subject though Unless you do super well and just become a lecturer/tutor.
