Where did you see the option for the M.St? Was it for an English programme? I'm in a similar field and I never encountered it before ( ... )

The M.St. option is only at Oxford, and it's in the English department under English Language. What field are you in? Are you a grad student? Where are you studying?

Most of the taught Master's appear to have a dissertation section that isn't quite a thesis but is still a self-driven research project. A few of the programs I am looking at don't have research equivalents. As far as I can tell (and as I'm sure is normal, this list changes daily) these are the courses that correspond closest to my interest. I was surprised to find some schools like Durham and Leeds didn't have similar degrees.

Cambridge - Mphil - Linguistics

Oxford - M.St. - English Language

Edinburgh - M.Sc. - (Linguistics and) English Language

Manchester - MA - (Linguistics and) English Language

Lancaster - MA - (Linguistics and) English Language

Thanks for the vote of confidence for employment. I've heard varied opinions all across the board.

Ah, it figures Oxbridge would do their own thing ( ... )

I will have completed my undergrad in English Lit (Honours) at the University of British Columbia by the end of this term. The degree itself has been great, I just realized near the end what it was exactly that I wanted to study, and that for the majority of my degree I hadn't been studying it. Isn't that always the way ( ... )
