Just trying to ascertain the real value of this course. It is a lot of money to shell out. The likelihood of getting funding at that level is probably approaching zero, especially in view of the cutbacks – if you had access to funding in the first place. Grants and student loans are all very well, but not if you still end up paying, which is likely.
In the end, it comes down to personal choice, based around the questions of – Is it necessary; Is it worth me doing it and What will I gain? If the answers are in the positive, then why not go for it. Personally, I won't be.
