The MA Degree
Registration Deadline - The deadline for booking for 2013 was 15 February, if this causes any problems please contact the Graduate Administrator graduates@murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk
Six years and one term after matriculating, a Bachelor of Arts is entitled to take his or her Master of Arts degree, either in person or in absence, provided that two years have elapsed since the BA degree was awarded. In December the Praelector writes to all those who are eligible and invites them to attend the Congregation in March. Although the degree may be conferred at any Congregation, the March Congregation is traditionally the occasion when New Hall alumnae return to Cambridge for the event and a special dinner is arranged on the Saturday evening following the ceremony at the Senate House.
If you have been awarded a Master's degree from another University, please note that this does not preclude you from receiving your Cambridge MA.
MA Congregation
This year's MA will be held on Saturday 23 March 2013. Emails to those eligible were sent 10 December 2012 - if you have not received information about how to apply, please email graduates@murrayedwards.cam.ac.uk. Some packages were sent by post to those whose email addresses bounced. Please check with colleagues / friends to check that they have received information. Thank you.
