Should I write them that I am wheelchair user…

Looking for a Ph D, should I write them that I am wheelchair user from the first time?

My accident happened during univ time, so my marks were very low for those years. However, then, I improved my marks and I also finished a MSc very good. Should I tell them that the situation was because of my accident?

2:2 + MSc = Not Enough?

Join the club - I have a similar problem. I was told that even if your academic record since your first degree is exemplary, it's your academic record as a whole that is looked at. I think it's the same way for say, the university's own scholarships. This doesn't make too much sense to me, but I think it may be something to do with the number of applications the university recieves. Apparently, the '2i or nothing' rule is used as a convenient way of limiting the number of applications for a particular PhD scholarship.

2:2 + MSc = Not Enough?

I've got a 2:2 from Warwick (Maths), this was low due to laziness to-be-honest, however I since did an MSc at a 5*-research top Uni in CompSci and got a MSc with Distinction. I've been suggested to do a PhD by academics but I'm confused about sponsorship - particularly EPSRC. Do I qualify with a 2:2+MSc-Dist or even if I don't, can an interested academic get me EPSRC sponsorship anyway?

Help would be appreciated as advice is ambiguous - even on EPSRC's own website which uses the word 'equivalent'.

Looking for PhD Opportunities

Is there a place on findaphd where one can post a CV - so that potential supervisors might find it?

I guess it's not really how it works (one can't expect a prospective supervisor to 'go looking' I guess) - but I thought I'd ask.

BTW, I'm a second year D.Phil student at Oxford - but I fancy a change of subject.

PhD switch

Is it possible to terminate a PhD during the first year and begin a different one the following september?

I currently have a BBSRC CASE studentship but its not going well at all and I feel im better suited at working in another area.

Findaphd team, I know there's going to be an obvious answer to this question, but nonetheless what is the difference between working unsupervised and working without support and advice?

This year or next year?

I graduated finished my biochemistry degree last year and decided to train to be a teacher. I have now had a change of heart and decided that a career in science is right for me - possibly beginning with a PhD. I know what field I would like to work in and have drawn up a shortlist of unis I would like to work at; however I am finding available opportunities scarce. Have I missed the boat? Would I be better off waiting and applying early next year?
