You need to review the literature and find a gap to research. It depends on your focus after the MSc and interests.

That's great news Pineapple - well done!

This is a totally normal viva outcome, so just get the corrections done and congratulations!

What you have said is correct: Imperial is better rated but LSHTM is the leader in the field of tropical diseases. You should look at other factors regarding living costs, potential projects and course content to make your decision. My guess is LSHTM is going to be more health focused and Imperial may focus more on plant viruses for example.

I continue with my PhD because I love science, learning, universities, reading, writing, teaching and thinking.

I echo the comments above: they just want to see your commitment and enthusiasm in an interview.

Ganesha, seems you misunderstand what a post doc is. It means Post Doctoral Research. You need to have a PhD. It's usually science-based so chances are you need a lab. Most people don't have labs at home so generally you need to be attending a university or research institute.

I am currently working 12 hours a day to write my thesis and I'm also aiming for a first draft by Christmas (not going to happen for me, but hopefully will for you!).

My strategy is to be in the office by 9am and leave at 10pm. I plan out my next day before I go home. I prepare both lunch and dinner on Sunday for the whole week, so that I can still eat healthily and not be distracted.

It's not easy, but it is working! So far I have submitted one chapter and had the feedback"it's good", so that's encouraging!

Good luck!

Remember that everyone is different, and many people don't get proper results for several years. As long as your supervisors tell you your progress is fine, then you are ok.

Being depressed isn't a disability - it's an illness, so I'm not sure whether the disability service can help you, but you could ask, and it would be confidential, so your colleagues won't find out. You should go to the student health centre or your doctor and see what other help they can give you.

I don't know too much about this, but I would guess that a masters isn't really going to help you and you are better off continuing to get more experience in your field.

Yes you can get scholarships for MScs in the US. It's easier if you know the supervisor already though. You will need to contact academics you are interested in and see what they have on offer.

No idea, anyone else?

Generally a PhD at UK universities is pure research, but this can be done part time and at a distance, although I suspect being so far away is unusual. You choose your research project in conjunction with your supervisors, but bear in mind some supervisors just want to do what they want, and you may have little freedom in topic.
