There are a number of MScs. Main areas looked at:

-Natural Science

The OU offer this, and it does seem quite appealing.

-Space Science
Theres a good summary here.
Queen Mary, and UCL (as well as York and Surrey do this)
Royal Holloway offer an MSc in astrophysics.

-Project management

-Finance/business

Phd Programmes

City is currently offering 75 studentships. Would need to draft a proposal and speak to academic staff about my ideas. Also would need to fit in with their ideas. Also - where would I live on £15k?! What would I do with the qualification? Would anyone care?


MBA
I'm still reasonably keen to do an MBA or PhD. I'm more than confident I have the skills to do an MBA. I think I'd probably struggle to get onto the best courses such as Harvard, although could conceivable get onto reasonably high ranking ones.
