    Just a quick question...

    If you are awarded entrance to a master degree course, is it possible to defer it for one year in lieu of a work placement (internship)?

    It may depend on the course and school really. The MA in geography doesnt allow deferral anyway

    I tried that (all of the numbers displayed on the website) and it rang once before somebody picked it up and then disengaged. Besides, it's a matter of priority, cannot wait until tomorrow to find out because I need to know by tonight. Even a hunch would do!

    I don't know the answer to your question but were you accepted into the MA already? I applied for a different one in English, the deadline is officially in May but we were encouraged to apply early.

    Hate waiting :(

    eventually will find out, thing is Im in work when Hilary G*** (administrator) is in her office so no luck there.

    Haven't applied yet because i may need next year off. Are they accepting people this early?

    What course have you applied for, if you don't mind my asking?

    You could well be competition.
