Graduate Study in the UK Information Session

Interested in Graduate Study in the U.K.? Tom McGlew, of the University of Edinburgh, will be available to discuss opportunities for graduate study in Great Britain. He will explain: how the current structures of graduate work in Britain have evolved in recent years; how 'taught' and research-focused masters degree programmes differ; what British universities look for in American applicants; how long it takes to complete a degree; how much graduate study costs in Britain; what possibilities exist for financial aid; and how to choose the program that is right for you. In addition, he will discuss graduate study specifically at the University of Edinburgh, which is currently ranked as the sixth best university in Europe, and answer questions both about Edinburgh and the British system generally. Tom is from the United States and has made his academic career in Britain. Until recently he was Associate Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Chair of the Sociology Department at the University of Edinburgh.If you are unable to attend the session and would like to speak with Mr. McGlew, he will hold open office hours in OUSF-- Bay 8 N, Room 207 Smith Warehouse-- from 2:30pm until 4:30pm.
