I took my last exam today!! I'm finally finished with high school
Posted by: DeepRoots Jun 5 2008, 10:14 AM
I have a 3 hour French exam in a few hours...not good
Oh well, by next friday i will be finished with these exams
Bring on summer! 
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 5 2008, 10:19 AM
I have my last exams ever next summer Then I will have two masters degrees and be half way to my doctorate
Posted by: Moon Boots Jun 5 2008, 10:34 AM
Then I will have two masters degrees and be half way to my doctorate You must be very hard working! Hope it's all pays off a few years down the line
Can I ask what you've done your degrees in?I've got my final computing A level exams in 3 hours. Thankfully I've done reasonably well in the earlier modules of the course so I only need to get 40% in this exam to get a C overall, so I should be fine.

I'm having my electronics exams at this very moment... It's going to hell I have no idea what a "PIC16F74" does....
And yet, I'm sitting here on GMC...

Sorry OC - don't forget that for the PhD you are viva'ed - which is an oral examination of unspecified duration but usually between 2-4 hours and can go up to more then 8. (I'm a lazy git and cut my own defense to 1 hour 15 mins so they can be pretty short as well .)
Good news though, unlike some European countries you don't have to do a public defense of a PhD thesis in the UK .
Not sure if you are equating a Masters as in some way equivalent to meeting part requirement of a PhD. They, imho - and that of PhD examiners I viva with - but this is opinion - do not. A PhD must meet criteria distinct from and to a Masters - including MPhils. Whilst a unsuccessful PhD may be awarded an MPhil classification something written as and for an MPhil is very unlikely to meet the requirement of a PhD however good it may be. It's a common misconception though - a lot of my Masters students believe that if they do a good dissertation then they'll be well on the road to a successful PhD. Oh I have fun relieving them of that fallacy 
.
Anyway good luck mate with both your Masters and the PhD.
Cheers,
Tony

I will have a Masters in Systems Engineering and a Masters in Computer Science. Pretty sad I know but it secures my future. I have a well paid phd compared to most. I get paid $36500 a year and don't have to pay tax because I'm still a lazy student lol

I have 2 Vivas as well lol. I try and forget about them
Mine is different to a phd anyway. I'm doing an Eng D with the first year earning me a Masters in Computer Science as we have a year of lectures and then the 3 year phd. So basically I will have done 5 years to get my Masters in Systems Engineering and Diploma in Industry. 2 and a bit years for Masters in Computer Science and 3 years to get my Eng D doctorate which is a special Engineering Doctorate.I'll be 27 when I finish lol
Posted by: Moon Boots Jun 5 2008, 12:29 PM
Nice. I've applied to do a Computer Science (Bsc) next year at Kingston uni which may well lead me down a similar path to you. I'm getting £15000 a year for uni but I've got to pay it back once I start earning
Hopefully house prices will have dropped a lot by the time I finish my degree!
Posted by: mattacuk Jun 5 2008, 12:31 PM
Im studying through the Open Univeristy at the moment. Its petty tough alot of the time, but its also fun
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Jun 5 2008, 12:32 PM
