Postgraduate Studies - Some Msc and Mphil.

Hi again! This time I will write a bit about my postgraduate interest.

1. Reasons to do the course

Long ago I decided to stay on the subject of Urban Studies in Sociology. Later I realized that it was not a good option to seek a specialization matter, but to let it flow across our experience. Now I find myself between two broad areas that meet my interests: Latin American Studies and Cultural Studies; Cities are also an option. The main reasons them, are not only my intellectual interest but also the professional needs.

 

2. Where you would like to study

Dreaming its possible, so there are two excellent and fast programs in the UK. The first one in London’s Economic and Political Science School [http://www.lse.ac.uk/resources/calendar/programmeRegulations/taughtMasters/2019/MScCultureAndSociety.htm]] and the other one in Cambridge University [http://www.latin-american.cam.ac.uk/mphil]. Msc in Culture and Society and a Mphil in Latin American subjects.

In Chile and other places of Latin America its possible to find programs like that, that’s for sure. A Msc postgraduate degree on Cities currently in course of the Urban Studies Institute of the Catholic University of Santiago [https://estudiosurbanos.uc.cl/programa/magister-en-desarrollo-urbano/] it’s also a good choice.  

 

3. Studing model

In a not-Covid19 world, this programs put you in a full time, one year program. There’s also the possibility of part-time class, but it’s not optimum.  

 

4. Requirements

In both cases the prospects expectations are high, there is, certainly, big competition for both program and scholarships that make possible the costs of living as student in expensive countries or cities.   

4.1    Academics

In both cases the base grade for postulation it’s not THAT high, but national scholarships tend to be exclusive to those students with experience and high marks. So that’s an indirect requirement to have in mind for these last years.

4.2    Communicational

In the case of the UK programs, there is this language gap. I have to demonstrate in some standardized test my uses of English in his four main areas of production and reception of communication. The expected mark is also high.

In those two last areas I’m just trying to have the best possible grades ant the same time that making all the possible effort to get familiarized with English, next year I have to prepare my exams.  

 

Thanks for reading!

    Sounds interesting studying Latin American Culture in a UK University, maybe it's a better option, to have another point of view :)

The best holiday i have had 💬.

In perspective, part of this year's holidays where definitively the better ones of my life. They took place in the famous "Litoral Central", what is, basically, the closest beaches to Santiago, Chile's Capital City. Between other journeys, i stayed there four days and four nights in a tent on a small house’s backyard in Las Cruces. Crosses Town [?]. In those streets i had time to look around for three things.       Landscape . The sea, when you walk through the sand, it’s always there. Cartagena and Las Cruces are pretty close, and you can get to another point, just by walking thirty minutes. These two old towns are part of one in many bays in the Litoral Central. Its usual to see Albatross, Pelicans and Numenius. By night the rusty city of Cartagena lights the dark sea with his houses over the hills.     Society and activity.  February, the road that connects the different towns of the location are just collapsed, the tourists are making ...

My future job - Working as a Sociologist

In the immediate future, or middle-range time, I will be working as social scientist, basically, researching social order phenomena.  This job is technical in his most, but I would also like to expand and use my knowledge not just in mechanic operations of data analysis and visualization or writing reports, but also taking part in decision making processes. Where I could find a job? There are various opportunities and demands of social researchers so as in policy design as in private enterprise analytics. It’s also a possibility the option of working as teacher in several institutes, universities or even high-schools. I’ve always had an interest in teaching, so it’s an interesting open opportunity. The fact it’s that social research cannot be done just from the comfortable and warm space of a fancy office, as others do, so I expect to travel a lot. In every moment I have considered the possibility of getting into fieldwork to supervise survey applications, making pictures of an...
