Hi Sally Interesting question and interesting responses coming through. I think the waters are muddied when we have things called 'taught Masters programmes' and some of the courses are actually undergraduate courses but the p/g students get slotted in. Given that the assessment in such instances is not different between the u/g and p/g students we would have to ask your question - but not be able to answer it satisfactorily. In a past life long long ago I was a scientist and we had Masters students, the Masters was a Research Masters. I think Bland hits on something interesting re returners or mature students. I am wondering whether there are disciplinary differences here? Or when I think of the Scottish Qualification Framework - maybe this business of how many points make up a degree, masters etc etc, maybe actual differences got rather smoothed out. No great answer for you there sally but maybe when we met up at QUB in September we can have a chinwag on this!!

Dear SEDA colleagues, This is an area I am very interested in currently and I would be very grateful if colleagues could point me to good published material on this, or to people who have expertise in this topic. Might it be an interesting topic fro a one-day symposium here at Leeds Met?
