Sorry. Anyway, awhile back I read a book called "Looking for Class" by Bruce Feiler, about his experiences doing graduate work at Oxford and Cambridge. If it's an accurate portrayal, then the whole graduate curriculum there is MUCH MUCH more informal and less structured than in the US. (The primary determinant of whether you get ahead seems to be whether the faculty think you deserve to... that's certainly not different from the US!)
