Course recommendations
Since there are only post-graduate-courses, it depends very much on your topic and whether you find suitable courses. At this level people to get very specialized and the range of things you're interested in tends to narrow down. From this point of view I sometimes had the feeling that there wasn't a very wide range of courses that interested me personally.
