Any media Phd student on here? am measuring impact of movies on audience through questionnaire can anybody help? I have already drafted the questionnaire. any advice would be great!

If you know the university you want to undertake the PhD - contact their post graduate office and they will tell you if you have to send the supervisor your proposal. On the other hand you can check the university's website for potential supervisor's email address and contact him or her directly.

Try all of the above but if you are still not getting anywhere contact Elizabeth of Data Solutions Services through their website and she will give you online tuition but at £65 an hour. I would recommend getting your head round it first because 1 hour just flies when you don't understand something.

Thank you very much Button. I think you mean do all write up such lit review by May so that I can do the data collection. correct me if am wrong.

I just literally started my PhD and have had an opportunity to visit the country I will conducting field studies in May 2013. I was thinking of killing two bird with one stone i.e conduct a focus group and survey whiles on my holiday. Is this wise? or should I wait and finish 1st year or lit review before doing this. I was only thinking of doing this because it cost a lot of money to travel to this country. my PhD is in humanities.

Did your uni not give you some guidelines for writing the dissertation? my guideline says 3,000 but I have combined one of my analysis chapter to cover all the topics in lit rev so I have written 6000. a draft has gone to my supervisor and she seems fine about it! everything crossed it should be fine. some of my mates have written 4000. hope this helps
