Hi Archiver,

Thanks! The diploma starts October 6 until middle of next year, and then the Masters is the following year (probably staring October again, and assuming I can afford it! lol :) ).

What is your course then, and how much are you having to bleed for it?!!! :) lol

Chris
I'm doing the masters in Archives & Records Management at Dundee via distance learning, part time. It's a lot of work on top of a full time job! But it's definitely worth it for me. I'm very lucky as I'm being funded for it by my current employers, as I don't think I'd have been able to do it on my own.

My current module is looking at archive ethics, which is really interesting!

Congratulations to DWW for giving Chris Paton a commercial plug that he didn't seek. You just can't buy that kind of advertising!

Sounds great Archiver! I might beg your boss to fund my masters...! lol :)

Good luck with it!!! :)

Hi Chris,

I saw absolutely nothing wrong with your post. You didn't mention genealogy research......it was Mr. DWW who did that for you, or was he posting under Montrose Budie this time :roll: He has so many names I get them confused. He knows full well there is no advertising (without payment) on TS.

Thanks to him you got some free advertising :lol:

Once again, congratulations on your graduation.

Hi Nina - as of January 2008, the course I have just done will be offered as a distance learning course as well - so you could always do what myself and my classmates have just done from Oz! lol :)

Best of luck
