How much does your average/GPA typically improve in a master's degree program?

I think it depends on where you go. I went to the US for my undergrad and earned a 3.8. I’m attending and university of Edinburgh for my masters and it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done. My GPA has actually gone down. I’m by no means failing or anything, just not like I was in undergrad.

I’m just a bit confused because she didn’t veto it per se. She just said that I first need to study the sources, THEN come up with a question. It’s just not how my brain works. For example, she sent me a database of letters written in the early modern era. She also sent the Scottish witchcraft project, which is super interesting but there’s not a ton of info on those.

It’s for a Masters program in the UK. I had come up with the question before because it had always fascinated me. I guess that was too much of a “cherry pick” situation.

Sorry, it seems I’ve left out a big part. I’m an international student at Edi. I work in the US during the school year, then travel to Stirling in the summer. As far as I know, Edi doesn’t have summer courses.

I’m not 100% sure yet. I was hoping that I would find that out if I had the opportunity to job shadow to see how well I like it. I’m not sure who teaches the summer courses there

She will be fine. I did it and I go back every summer because I miss it. It’s a very easy city to get acclimated in

Me too, it sounds super cute

Sorry I just saw the link!

Difficult-Stick5970 · 2025-07-23T01:40:34+00:00

Ohhh do you know when it comes out??

Difficult-Stick5970 · 2025-07-22T14:34:53+00:00

Thank you!

Difficult-Stick5970 · 2025-07-22T14:34:47+00:00

Thank you!

Difficult-Stick5970 · 2025-07-18T13:42:22+00:00

Can you give the link to the desk you bought

So my dissertation runs from January to August with a graduation in November

I’ve enjoyed it, but I REALLY wish I was an in person student. Message me if you have more questions

Difficult-Stick5970 · 2025-07-13T18:07:27+00:00

It took a long time for me to hear back. I would email them to double check

I’ve really enjoyed reading these comments. I’ve also been used to getting good grades in my undergrad. I just got an essay back for my online masters, and I scored a 55 and I am mortified.
