Thank-you Teek,

Regarding your year in the industry, did it involve research?

Thank-you Sneaks, this is good advice!
I really need to push for this. This has made me to persevere!

Wow thank-you KB!! Your advice is very helpful and reassuring!
I was beginning to feel abit doubtful, but I will certainly look into research posts to gain my experience.

Thank-you once again!!

Thank-you very much Dr Seeker! This is definitely reassuring... I will definitely do my homework and research more universities!

Hey all,

I am really interested in doing a PhD! Now is vital that I haven't got a 2:1 or a distinction in my MSc... I have a 2:2 and basically got a merit in my MSc!

Can someone help me... I really want to apply for a PhD but don't want to be held back because of my past qualifications!

Thanks!

Hey all,

Is there anyone out there that could help me?
I am seriously considering doing a PhD next year and so I would like to get some advice as to what you have experienced... your highs and lows, the benefits, the exciting parts!
I am considering researching in Africa too, so is there anyone who could tell me their experiences whilst researching in another continent/country!

I would love to hear you stories!

Thanks

Many Thanks, I will keep that in mind.

Hey!

I'm interested in doing a PhD... scary but true!
I've given myself a year to think and research on ideas for a topic. I'm very much interested in International development particularly in Africa, and would like to research on issues including rural development, politics in Africa, particularly West Africa and urban change in regards social movement. Although strange, I have an interest in researching the drainage issues and their affects to the communities in West Africa particularly in Cameroon!

Is there anyone who can give me advice in terms of ideas.

Many thanks
