One of the most useful things I did was chat to academics to get a feel for the course content before I started. Postgraduate can be a step up anyway, but I was worried about transitioning from a BA to an MSc. Speaking with the academic staff gave me an understanding of the course content and left me feeling excited rather than worried.
I’m sad that I’ll soon be finishing my course – even though I’ve been doing it for 2 years rather than the standard 1 year for full time students, it still doesn’t feel long enough. In terms of what comes next for me, I’m still passionate about restoration – the driver behind me starting the course in the first place – so I’d love to work on that more in the future in some form.
