Hi Tessifier!
What an excellent question! I am just applying to do a PhD in European linguistics so I have had to choose my own topic and design my own proposal, which is great I think. This way, you know enough about your area to make an informed decision about studying further.
As far as choosing my topic, during my first degree I spent a good deal of time talking to my lecturer who mirrored my interests and she came up with many interesting ideas. I then read up on the ones which really interested me. I also went to a conference she organised, which inspired me even more, and here I am: about to submit an application.
The best of luck! :)
Hi!
I hope some of you may be able to give me some advice.
Last year, I wrote a PhD proposal (in humanities) with my potential supervisor and it's at the place where I did my Bachelor's and am now doing Master's. Since writing it, I have realised that I don't want to stay at the same place to do my PhD as well. I'm interested in going to another (better) university with a more experienced supervisor, but I'm taking the proposal with me. I don't think the supervisor I wrote it with is too happy, to say the least. She seems quite disappointed that I'm not staying.
Do you think it's ok to do this?
Hey all!
I'm applying to do a PhD with funding attached. However, if unsuccessful I've thought about doing it part-time. It would be in French at a Bitish university.
Any opinions on doing it part-time? Any feedback on any aspect of part-timing would be greatly appreciated. Such as balancing the workload and managing to survive on a part-time salary...
