Education ... and studying ... Masters Degrees ...

Just to up-date my readers, and perhaps inspire my readers, I am thinking of studying for an MA, a masters degree, I am choosing to study at this level again because I have already achieved a bachelour's degree with honours, and am familiar with the course requirements to achieve a masters degree. For me its the right thing to do, to be honest I feel by now I should have studied at PHD level if I had progressed with my previous MAs, however, I am now researching the various MAs to see what is involved, so far the various course content encourage me to look further into what is involved and the level of commitment I am expected to apply. I am seriously looking at the MA Law degree and the MA Literature; apparently the MA Law degree involves looking at case studies to see how the structure of law and the legal process determines the outcomes of a legal case; there is a lot of legal literature to read quickly and process quickly, all of these requirements to me sound ideal to challenge my intellectual thinking, so, i am seriously thinking along those lines, and again, I am looking to study with the Open University; there are a number of requirements I need to have in place such as computer adaptability, I will see if I can get by with my samsung tablet, studying a degree is all about preparation, its like cooking, everything has to be ready at hand and in place and ready to adapt by following directions and engaging with the process to achieve outcomes. I am also looking at the MA Literature, again, so I have some choices. I feel that in my situation, my particular circumstances I am best suited in an environment that is challenging to me intellectually and following a good course of study is a way to achieving that. I feel I cannot push my bachelors' degree any further, its like going around in circles intellectually, so I must progress, its the right thing to do. I have already made enquiries and everything is in place to proceed with an application. We all have a responsibility to educate ourselves, to be involved in education, and even if we are in work there is always time for concise study, we owe that to ourselves and those around us to engage appropriately and intellectually with our fellow human beings. So, wish me luck. Angela De Freitas
