Hi international guys, I have a question for you!
An UK Univ offered me an unconditional place as Ph.D. student.
In the letter there is written:
This offer is subject to the following:

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Will they pay me and wow much?
Then there is written that I shoul pay 3170£ tuition fees.

How many weeks to wait for an interview?
L

I am an Italian graduate, I applied for a Ph.D. position in U.K. three weeks ago. Do you know how many weeks I have to wait for an interview? How they comunicate you these decisions (call for an interview, admission etc.)? By letter, telephone or by e-mail (too). (My concern is about Italian Postal Service that is not so efficient and often lose mail!!).
Bye
