Ridiculous to waste time talking about the legitimacy of Jill Biden’s doctorate when we have people in the UK who sat in on three lectures and wrote a three page essay somehow being awarded masters degrees

Yes the truth is the European degree system makes more sense. But so long as the American one makes you jump through more hoops I reserve the right to rag on it.https://twitter.com/eean/status/1337874005982789632?s=20 …

This joke has awoken “I worked very hard for my UK masters” twitter but to be clear I hold no ill will. If the US system was “there are two ways to get a masters: you can work hard, or you can get a BA at Harvard” I would also be angry at people who brought up the latter path.

And to the people replying my original tweet is "absolute bollocks" because their "programme" went through "Michaelmas Term," I want to be very clear: I do not know what you are saying

I mean literally Oxford and Cambridge alum’s BA’s are automatically upgraded to MA’s a few years out.

Yeah you don’t really do anything apart from pay thousands and thousands of pounds, write many thousands of words, learn a huge amount of complex new material, and keep yourself afloat mentally and financially, all in 1 year

This is complete rubbish, like
@daisyldixon my MA was over 60,000 words of writing, learning massive amounts of new material, learning vaulable new skills, paying 1000s of pounds I had worked very hard in retail to save & still balancing jobs whilst I studied. Stop spreading lies -
My MA History at Birkbeck was two years, whilst working full-time. My study time was two nights in class, two nights in the library, and Sat/Sun, sometimes both, in the library or working at home. Five modules, five long essays, many seminar presentations, one dissertation.

Are you actually trying to be offensive? I’ve just finished one in the UK. It took me two years. I had to produce 40,000 words of assessed work plus do two non-assessed courses and pass two examined skills modules.

Breaking news: There are more universities in the UK than Oxford and Cambridge.

And even Oxford and Cambridge do plenty of normal Masters courses...
