Oh Dr. Coop XD

Dear all

Hope the exams went well, and you enjoyed your projects. Before you all disappear I wanted to check with you if anyone likes Soil Mechanics so much that they would like to do an MSc. We have places on our course - the entry requirement is a 1st (or near miss). If you are a UK citizen paying home fees there is also financial support available. Come and see me if you are mad enough.

Very best wishes to all of you for the future.

Matthew Coop


The kind of emails he sends out XD Of course I'm enjoying my project, getting a first, love soil mechanics, a mad UK citizen.

Oh on Friday I got chatting with 2 MSc students at the lab. The girl came to this country only for the course and is paying about 12grand *winces*. The guy spent the day telling the girl what to do and what not to do, because she isn't smart enough to know not to do anything banging (I mean hammering things!) next the electronic balance. *smacks forehead* Oh the guy also did the Wastewater module, and from his description his exam paper was a nightmare. Like 2 random questions from the entire course. Ack.

For the first time in weeks all my userpics are showing!!!

the point is, why would any one want an Msc after an MEng (or do people?)

tho it really doesn't sound like a good offer to me, usually they offer a lower bound offer to imperial students don't they?

and of course, i am not fascinated, come on, it is soils.

I dunno. I have BSc friend going to do PhDs, I have seen MEng people doing PhDs, but doing MSc after MEng... guess they wanna learn a bit more but don't wanna do PhD... I have no idea man. Never heard of anyone like that.

When it comes to soils I don't think so. IC soils department is really tough to get in.

It's the correct attitude XD
