And you get 25% off the tuition fees if you’re a Durham graduate and do your postgrad there!I only applied to one MA but I did it years after graduating, so my situation was different but I don’t think it’s unusual for people going back to uni who have jobs and who live in the area to apply to only one or two programs.
Jack however, should’ve applied to Durham if he was happy with his university and department instead of pinning his hopes on Oxford. Not only does he know the department, they can help him with finding funding and getting his PhD application perfect if he went down that route.
That’s incredible! I wonder if he’s delusional... if you get such a great offer you’d surely still apply to both!And you get 25% off the tuition fees if you’re a Durham graduate and do your postgrad there!
Tbh I've only ever heard this from US academics. Staying at the same institution is not perceived badly in the UK and it's quite common. Sometimes it's the smarter option - if it's a highly regarded for the subject you're interested in, if you've got a great supervisor lined up there, and has a good employment outlook then there's no point switching institutions for the sake of it if you love the one you're at.I can’t speak for all universities but I will say if Jack wants a career in academics it often looks better to move around. The danger of attending the same university is that it can be seen as you being unable to get in somewhere else (acceptance rates are higher among graduates of the university typically). It also connects you with way more people in the field. Obviously none of these are issues for people not hoping to go into the traditional form of academics of researching while lecturing but if that’s what he wants Durham might not have been the best choice.
as somebody is very familiar with Hermes as a delivery company, any communications with them has to be done via the seller, they have very little customer services for the receiver / customer
Ah my mistake, sorry. IME in Ireland (and I can only speak for my own field which is not the same as Jacks) that stuff does matter once you go beyond your own college. It’s definitely not a massive factor, and wouldn’t drive me away from my own university if I loved it or found the perfect supervisor but something worth considering when applying.Tbh I've only ever heard this from US academics.

Yep, their legal contract is with the retailer (in this case Jacks business) who has a separate contract with the courier which the customer isn’t part of. He should be careful about saying this stuff because he’s shirking his companies legal responsibility publicly.as somebody is very familiar with Hermes as a delivery company, any communications with them has to be done via the seller, they have very little customer services for the receiver / customer
any problems (even if it is with the delivery, and not the item itself) must be communicated through the seller
I heard this too - my sister did an integrated Masters at Manchester in neuroscience (where you automatically progress onto a masters after your bachelors and get an MSci rather than a BSc and MSc) and she applied for a lot of PhD programs around the country afterwards and she thinks one of the reasons she got rejected from all of them was because she didn't move elsewhere for her masters. I've heard it from other people too but I think it's mostly in STEM subjects tbh, I don't think it's as important in arts subjectsI can’t speak for all universities but I will say if Jack wants a career in academics it often looks better to move around.

Some STEM subjects do stop you from doing postdocs at the same uni/in the same department as the one you were awarded your PhD, but I'm in the humanities and it's fine in my subject. So I think it's dependent on what you're doing and the attitudes of the academics in your field.I heard this too - my sister did an integrated Masters at Manchester in neuroscience (where you automatically progress onto a masters after your bachelors and get an MSci rather than a BSc and MSc) and she applied for a lot of PhD programs around the country afterwards and she thinks one of the reasons she got rejected from all of them was because she didn't move elsewhere for her masters.

Time management.....I refuse to believe that’s realI have no words
That's just... so ridiculously ironic (and hypocritical)!I have no words
