It is very possible. But all will depend on how instrumental and initiative you are in pursuing the sources of funding. Good luck!

Hi. Yes I am very excited about doing PhD. Have you prepared anything? read journals etc? If not we are in the same boat.

Sheffield has at least one tree for every five inhabitants and over 10% of the city is covered by woodland.

True, but most compulsive flirts happen to be female. Regardless of that, i stand by my last comment.

I have a hard supervisor making me establish everything my self. I work at least 50 hours a week which seems to be normal in Switzerland. Cheers,
Barbara

Why do you want to do another PhD in Germany? You should contact groupleaders which do intrest u. As far as I know there is no german PhD forum or website. I think Tübingen is good for Botanics, but I am from Neuroscience so I am not the best person to ask. Cheers, Nicole

What is the breakdown of marks at an MSc level, eg at undergraduate level 70% = 1st, 60% = 2:1 etc.

It denpends what you want after! If you want to continue with sience you should do a PhD that attracts you! If you just want the degree it is not so important, but ask yourself whether you can motivate yourself during 3-4 years doing something you do not really like. Good luck!

Believe it or not there is a difference between Pharmacology and Pharmacy. If i were you i would check which subject you are enquiring about. You can not be a practicing pharmacist unless you have done a degree/masters/pre-reg in pharmacy

Congratulations! What I could suggest for your funding is into website related to: UNESCO, Chevening Scholarships, and your Coun try Ministry/Firm that deal with wildlife. Try to get scholarship from them. Thanks.

Ive just handed in my notice at work!! I cant wait to start my PhD. Is anyone else this excited?? Does anyone have any good advice for a first year PhD student?

It's interesting how everyone has assumed that the supervisor must be male and that Anon must be female...not all academics are men! ;oD

Put yourself in his shoes, would you want some PhD student making your job awkward. He may even be spoken for. On the other hand you may not be as hot as you think you are, and just flirt due to a low self-esteem, in which case get help. You will gain nothing and lose all by harmless flirting. On the other hand if you want to get with him, then flirt away, and since you seem to flirt freely, why not aim to have a research group orgy?

The rubber bouncing ball was invented in Sheffield.

Yes. I know lots of people (in arts/humanities/social science) who have done this. With some research behind you, you are likely to be able to put in a stronger proposal for research council funding.
