Hi,
I'm about to do my MA in English Lit from this September, and ideally I would like to do PhD straight after that. But I can only do PhD if I get funding. I understand it's extremely competitive and difficult. So any advice or tips you have which will be appreciated.
Answers to some expected questions:
I want to do PhD because I have a genuine interest in doing so, and I am one of those crazy people who actually like spending time studying!
I am a mature student, so already been in the workplace and not doing phd to avoid having to go in the job market.
I am only looking to do PhD in UK (funding is easier in US, but oh well).
Thanks.
Hi Guys,
I'm about to start my MA in English Literature at a UK University (I'm a mature student, graduated 11 years with an undergraduate degree in Finance and Economics, which I did in the US so different education system). I really want to do PhD straight after my Master's and will need funding for that, which is extremely competitive in English Lit. So I need to get distinction.
Any tips from those of you who have received distinction in MA? Particularly in English Lit?
Thanks
