Hey Ocean. I agree with Abubakar (there is a first time for everything!). Get in touch with them and see. For example, here in a lot of UK universities they give you 'provisional registration' allowing you to start your PhD and then producing your results when you get them. They usually have quite a lot of people with this problem so make allowances. But best to just ask, never any harm.

24 and just starting my second year. Two of my fellow students at the same stage are only 22, it makes me feel old.

It is normal but do not be over stressed. As time goes on, you will know what to read and what to skip
Best regards

Please get in touch with the specific university you would like to be admitted to and find out their admission requirements. Some may admit you without the certificate but will need it during registration.

Please get in touch with me and provide more details of what you want. [email protected]

UCL is more reputable but London is awfully expensive place to live if you are on a budget like most students.

Reality check: more people will read your application for a PhD than your PhD thesis

I am a Canadian who is thinking of going to Leeds or UCL for transportation studies. I have never been to either, can anyone give me some info and good advice re the above mentioned cities?

I'm 22 but I feel 42... :(

Woah, you guys are all so young to be doing a PhD. I feel 40, but just turned 25.

I'm 22, I'll start my PhD next year.

Thanks guys, really appreciate your help. I have talked to another prof who is really supportive of me. The only thing is that my advisor is a big wig in the department, and I am afraid if I switched, it would cause a tsunami. gah!
