UP Graduate School

[petrochem_isko]

Anyone here who has taken/is taking MA Industrial Relations in SOLAIR. How's the program? I want to study immediately after graduation. Is that advisable? THanks guys

If you're going to pursue a job that is concerned on HR stuff/Labor Codes/Labor Stuff etc etc, then I'll recommend this program for you.

Nung undergraduate ko, never gave attention sa SOLAIR. Never pay a visit hehe. But just got an idea of what the program was after I got an elective subject "Labor &Economy" under Sir Amante, our VP for Admin. Never I expected that I enjoyed the class. Just got a slight pressure when I had to work on my research paper. Parang napansin ko ***, parang mga oldies na mga Prof. But surely, you'll learn a lot.

^Hi petrochem isko! I'm actually planning for a career in HR after I graduate (my undergad is psych from upd, too). Is it avisable to study and work part time? Thanks

Bakit nilalangaw na ang thread natin huuu. Ay wait, kasi dapat busy na sa work. Dun dun dun. Haha. (sorry, slow day sa office).

[moveitmoveit]

Why not make this a sticky thread so more grad students (who are probably not so busy at the moment) would get to see this and eventually make this thread attractive to potential/incoming U.P. grad students and also U.P. grad school alumni who want to give advices?

What do you think?

Oks sana, kung pwede yun. Haha. Though yung ibang thread, like UP Dil, UP Mla, UP Los Banos, di sila naka-sticky. May chance kaya? Hehe.

San merong MS Meteorology? Ooooh. Ano usually mga undergrad nila? May BS Meteorology ba? (Sorry kung di ako aware, wala kasi kaming mga ganyang course sa UP Manila hehe. Health lang halos talaga).

[gs09]

^ Nope, AFAIK graduate level lang siya.

[asargc]

sino uplb grad skool **?

Wala naman, basta may working knowledge ka in Math and Physics you will be OK. in demand ito sa ibang bansa though PAG-ASA really needs brilliant minds (and hands) as well. 3 yung kilala kong kumukuha niyan ngayon, yung (UP) undergrad courses nila Geography, Applied Physics, may mga classmates daw sila na Nursing at ECE ang undergrad (non-UP). keri lang naman

Bongga ang dalawang MS courses ng IESM (aslong with MS Envi Sci) mukhang in demand dahil sa Global Warming chuchu na feeling ko naman ay hindi anthropogenic.

[AbulugAdventure]

^ Himala nga na kinuha nila ako sa kabila ng masagwang ECE grades at nagtapos ako sa isang local school (AMA - East Rizal). Magtatrabaho muna ako ng konti tapos magpa-part-time na estudyante. Sa totoo lang, kukunin ko lang naman ito bilang laman-utak LANG - hindi bilang maging guro ng naturang kurso o maging researcher. Weather hobbyist ako, e - lalo na yung mga bagyo? Ehehehe.

Mukhang mahina aang MS Meteorology nitong nakaraang mga taon, a? Sobrang konti lang ang nagtatapos kumpara sa Env Sci.

[Terrin]

mas madali ata ang grad school kesa nung undergrad.

Ngarag lang ang thesis kasi ang hirap humugot nang panahon lalo na kung may trabaho.

ahh hindi rin naman, depende sa course yan.

[asargc]

relax... am planning to have my further studies at uplb by 2014.. ipon2x mode muna ako **. hehehe.. most likely. ms envi sci... any insights? thanks... i guess uplb's program is very strong...

Hi there! I am currently taking up MA Ed in SPED. A not-so fresh graduate actually, but I started this program quite early. So far, I'm enjoying my classes (though it's hard work!) but all the learning's worth it.

Anyone here also in the MA Ed program?

[sai_13]

guys! Patulong!

I'm taking up MS Applied Math.

Alin ba mas magandang piliin? Yung thesis or non-thesis option?

And if non-thesis, how hard will the oral and comprehensive exam be? Meron na ba sa inyong nakapagtake na ng compre?

Oh that's good to hear IYA (im inventing a nickname, iamyourangel is too long ), ganun din naman ako sa kinukuha ko, kahit na di ako MA ED.

Good morning Sai! why don't you ask around, i'm sure may mga upper batches naman siguro na dumaan sa program mo. I'm in Econ, and we also have the same option for finishing up the Masters. Syempre, it's also a matter of how much time can you devote to studying, or if you already have a job.

Taking a thesis generally takes up more time overall, but you can spread it out eh. Pag compre, isang bagsakan na lang, ika nga. There are many factors, syempre yung hirap ng pagtake ng compre at nung thesis, pero isipin mo rin kung anong goal mo sa future (Phd, academe, professional work?).

Anyway, ask around in your department, I bet they'll be more helpful rin.

Anyway, let's keep this thread up, guys! Halos wala akong kakilala outside of my department eh, I'd be interested in hearing the perspective of other grad students.

[boywitty]

mahirap din ang grad school lalo na pag di ka prepared.

Thanks for taking time to reply

I've already asked around and all of them have chosen the thesis option. As in LAHAT! hehe

Actually, I told my adviser last sem that I'm considering the non-thesis option (kasi feeling ko less time-consuming at less stressful) but she kept on pushing me to do thesis nalang... Argh!

I haven't even enrolled yet kasi magdedepend yung number of units na kukunin ko sa choice ko (thesis/non-thesis)... Ikaw?

Hi Terrin! How;s the MA Econ program? Kaya ba siya kahit hindi ka grumaduate ng Econ? Thanks!

Pag lahat sila thesis ang choice, may ibig sabihin yan...

patayan ang compre nyo.

Kayo-kayo ba ng mga classmates nyo, anong choice? Ideally, if you do the exam, you'd want other people to study with you.

Anyway, no choice ako with my program eh, but I'll do it next year pa.

Oh and I'm enrolling tomorrow, maybe.
