Hi everyone,
I have a big dilemma in the very moment of my life: I have to choose
what to do next and it's the decision that will alter my life. I need
your help! The question is:
What can I study in UK, EU or anywhere else, having a BA in teaching
English of University in Poland? I would like to obtain MA or MS - is
it possible to study any subject in master programmes? Does it matter
what a degree I have already gained?
Does anyone know if there is a website with all sufficient information
about studying in the EU?
Looking forward to your replies,
Filip

For the UK - it depends on the course and institution. There are, for
example, MSc in Information Technology (for people without an IT-related
degree), and MSc in Information Technology (for people with an
IT-related degree).

Many degrees at Master's level tend to be either research oriented,
which suggests they would have a pre-requisite of an *appropriate*
Bachelor's, or vocational, which suggests you have an idea of what you
want to work as after the Masters.

For the UK

www.hero.ac.uk - HERO is the official gateway to UK universities,
colleges and research organisations.

http://www.aimhigher.ac.uk/ - Our website provides all the information
you need to get started on the road into HE, including links to all the
key places where you can find answers to your questions.

If you want to continue the theme of teaching of English as a second
language you might consider:

http://www.celt.stir.ac.uk/TESOL.htm
MSc/Postgraduate Diploma in TESOL
