Meeting with Program Coordinator for Masters program: What should I ask?

I'm saying the phrase that after my last graduate experience I swore I would never say again: "I'm going back to school."  There is a particular, niche program at York that would fill a huge gap in my resume for the particular career path I want to follow, so I've decided that I'm going for it.

To that end, I am planning on meeting with the Program Coordinator in a couple of weeks.  The program itself is only a couple of years old, which I perceive as both an opportunity and a pitfall.  It's very small, quite specialized, and I have a limited amount of experience in this area (from a non-science policy perspective, however).

I know the types of questions I would ask of a US university Masters program (class size, accessibility of professors, graduate job placement, individual professors' research interests, etc). What questions should I add/drop for a British university Masters program?

Hey I'm a soon-to-be ex jersey girl too!!!! (hopefully, if funding and visa pull through) I'm also pondering the same question. What should I ask programs?  I'm applying for MSc in Public Health as well as Social research methods and stats. 

It depends if it is a research masters or a taught masters...
Research: I'd be more interested in the interests and availability of the staff.  Having a good relation with staff in your area is the best thing in this case.  Second on the list would be other postgrads in the programme as far as their interests.  While you'll be doing a lot of work on your own, a good programme will have at least two staff members and a few research postgrads in closely-related subjects (and the closer, the better).  Next would be seminars and classes.

Taught: Foremost here would be the seminars and classes, followed by staff interests.  Other students come third.

In both cases, it would also be good knowing about the programme's track record with graduate placement and its relationships with other groups (e.g. corporations, labs, etc).

Will you be an international student or home student? I'd ask if there is any funding available to you. There probably isn't, but you won't know without asking! If you will be classified as a home student, you could potentially be eligible for funding from one of the research councils. www.rcuk.ac.uk
