I did the MA in Communication Design at St Martins, Fulltime. I suppose it worked for me. I'm a CD in a big agency at 30 which is pretty young and I earm more money than I thought I would of.
Saying that a friend who did the same BA as me but didnt to the MA is in an equivilant job on the same money at the same age.
So difficult to say. He got a placement, I did an MA, both ended up at the same place.
Having the extra year after uni, allowed me to focus on which creative sphere I wanted to go in, as I didnt know. I went for Digital on the MA.
Good course, but out of 50 students only 5 were English, so a lot of it was a money generator for CSM. Personally I'd think about somewhere else other than CSM these days. Hypermedia at Westminster, RCA or out of London like Surrey or Watford depending on what you want to do.
Hope that helps
