Masters Programs in the UK

[objectivityofcontradiction]

I'm applying to graduate school for the Fall of 2013 for my Masters in Philosophy. My top three choices for schools are Warwick, Sussex, and UCL. I'm going to be applying for a Fulbright Award and also for every international scholarship that these universities make available. I'm just curious if any one on here has conducted masters-level work in the UK or any course work for that

matter in the UK and if they can clue me in to what the student experience is like and how it might differ from grad school in the US. I'm well aware that there is little to no funding or aid made available for international ma students, so I don't need to be reminded. I'm more looking for general information on the UK university system, student life, etc.

I've been in touch with the philosophy dept. graduate advisers at each of the departments mentioned and they've done a nice job explaining to me exactly how the taught masters programs work, but you can never have enough feedback so I figured I'd ask around on here.

Thanks

I am interested in hearing about the same kind of thing. I applied to SOAS, Oxbridge, LSE, and Durham for International Relations and/or Middle Eastern Studies (all taught masters).
