I'm curious about the number of people on VN who want to pursue anything beyond a bachelor's degree. If you are going to do so, what are you going to do, and where are you hoping to do it at?

I'm hoping to do a Master of Science degree at MIT in the US. I haven't looked much into it but there's no harm setting a goal for yourself. :P

I haven't even finished VCE and I've been thinking about it. I'm thinking of doing a masters\PhD in economics at either Cambridge, Oxford or London School of Economics, but if anyone knows anywhere else that would be good I'll look into that too.

Looking into a Ph.D in theoretical physics at MIT or something similar overseas after I get my bachelor degree. It's still a long way away though.

Should I happen to stumble upon a cash-filled hobo piņata, I would most definitely apply for Part III.

Actually that's a seriously good idea, I might consider that.

Would totally do a PhD in linguistics or classics. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the best university for grad research in linguistics is MIT, which I have no hope at all of getting into.

Well Monash is the only one who takes masters music students who haven't done a bachelors in music. Or if I win the lottery or something I might try for overseas ones... Juilliard... *drool*
