I applied to both and it was easier to get a PhD. Too many graduated are applying to med school - even some that already have a PHD!

which uni did u go to? I advise u to accuse the uni by sending a complian letter. If u have finished ur phd, and don't want to get into a trouble, then u better just leave it beside. Thanks for sharing ur experience with us. Happy 2004

Hi i have finshed my bsc and want to get some lab expereince-how do i go abo doing this-any good websites for part time lab jobs for graduates?

Useful link, thanks.

Phew! Glad it worked out for you.

I would advise you to carry out some research on your own and write some research paper/s. Try to get them published. Then you become a very strong candidate for PhD even if you have bad grades.

No point in doing an MPhil if you already have a MSc. The main difference between MPhil and MSc is that MPhil is research only whereas MSc usually involves coursework. In Mphil you carry out some original reearch like PhD but the research is less detailed than in PhD.

has anyone appied for nothing medicne and a phD? what i it easier to get in to med or a phd from your exprinces?

mmm...im having no luck wit a phd so far so i have heard about doing an mphill---but what is it? is it worth doing since i already have a msc?

another FAQ is what do u want to do after you PhD
what personal skills does it take to do a PhD
tell me about your reserch project
what intersts you about research etc....

why do you want to so a phd..... i want to continue in this subject bcos it interest me and i also want to be involved in cutting edge research in this area- why this uni - good research rating!

be prepaired foranyting - i had a data anaylsis exericse at my interview which i could have not hve prepared for een if i knew it was going to happen - basically know whay u want to do a phd and what you hope to do after you complete it!

thanks for the advice guys

It also depends on the student. PhD is merely a document. Your reputation as a researcher depends upon the work you publish and not on the name of the university. If you work hard and write some good research papers by the end of your PhD, you will definitely be preferred over someone with Oxbridge degree and no or little published work. The name of the degree granting institution will become insignificant with time. The name of the universities is important for people interested in public offices and politics as they use it to impress people.

I am up for an interview. can anyone tell me what issues I've got to be careful? What are the FAQs? It seems that they are likely to ask: "Why do you want to study for PhD?" How should I answer it? How do I answer such Question as:" Why do you want to study in our univ in particular?" Thx
