Leaving Postgraduate Course?

lauraza

Hi everyone,

I have started a postgraduate course in January of this year, but I have not enjoyed the content of it, or found that I have received the level of support from tutors e.g. marked assignments not being returned within specified timescales.

I have completed only 20 credits of the qualification, but have paid for 40 (am halfway through current module)

Does anyone have any advice or experienced anything similar? I would really like a refund of the fees for the module I'm currently doing, although I realise this is highly unlikely! I am also considering transferring the credits I do have to another course, has anyone done the same at postgraduate level?

Thanks

firstly, have you taken your concerns to staff in your dept? there is usually some form of postgraduate commitee and the people on it are generally very keen to protect the interests of postgraduate students. there should be a representative from your course who can present your point of view if you don't want to go yourself.

if you have already invested 6 months in this, then i'd give it a go at making it better before dropping out. you will lose a lot of money (which is expensive at a postgrad level) and i'd imagine transferring credits is quite difficult.
