As I mentioned I recently got a place for a Master of Science degree in Computer Science (something I should have done before going into teaching and before starting my PhD).
I've taken the next step in my career plan to get into lecturing by formally accepting the Master's Degree and paying for the first part of it. So now I just need to get through my Master's degree and then find a job as a lecturer! This is totally exciting news!
Many people already know this, but for those who do not, I have formally accepted a position for a Master's Degree in Computer Science. Apart from PGDE, this is my first time returning to university in 7 years. It will also be my third university-level qualification as I already have a BSc with Honours and a PGDE in Secondary Computing. To me this is quite an achievement since 7 years ago I was concerned about my illness coming back and stopping me from finishing my Honours year.
This MSc is part-time and at the University of York - one of the universities I have always wanted to attend!
