hi, i'm currently a final year Mbiol student at Bangor university, and i intend to continue on to a phd. however the ins and outs of this process alludes me. especially funding. i have asked lectures for advice but they have been extremely vague in there responses.

so far i understand there are for simplicity two types of phd aviable with in the uk, funded and self funded. funded is self explanatory, as the uni/research team has the resources to provide the funding for the phd student. the self funded is again self explanatory (pay your self) , but is it possible to find/apply funding (from another body ect) for a potentail phd student?

any advice any one can give would be greatly appreciated
