Thanks very much for the help

Hi,
I have a bachelors degree , having graduated with a GPA of 3.58. Unfortunately I missed the 1st class category by a margin of 0.02. I am interested in a career in lecturing and hence want to acquire a Phd. What are my chances of securing a fully funded PhD program without having to do a Masters.(Seems most of these institutions prefer a 1st class). Will rather prefer doing an intergrated Masters cum PhD program.

Also I was once told English tests are waived for countries which speak English as an official language. My whole education including undergraduate was in English and I want to find out if I can secure admission without having do an extra English test. Will be glad if some of you can share your experiences. Thanks very mcuh
