What is doing an MSc like? The style of teaching and assessment for the 'taught' component will be familiar to you. Given that most MScs are only 12-month qualifications, the teaching is quite intensive, so there is not a lot of time to relax. Most different is the summer dissertation. Most MScs require you to do a piece of independent research over the three months of the summer, guided by a supervisor. As well as providing you with academic research skills, this gives you a good 'taster' of what PhD research would be like.
