Studentship Interview

They said I will hear from them in couple of weeks. On their website they will notify the candidates in June or July but I've already written it off currently I'm trying to concentrate on my plan B.

They have not told me the outcome yet but I could just feel it! Can you imagine being interviewed by four people in less than 15 minutes. The next person would start to ask even before I finished answering the other one ending up not hearing the question as I was still talking. There was no icebreaker or what so ever. One of the question was that since the research I did for my Masters (which is the only research I ever did) was lab based and in my proposal I'm now proposing to do questionnaire type how will I manage it.
It was as if they had already decided and I just asked myself why did they waste my and their time by shortlisting me if they see that I can't make it. I don't think I will ever put myself through that again! On the other hand I have already been accepted by another uni but without funding. I just think I should organise funding for that one from my country and if that fails I just defer it until I get funding.

It went really bad:-(
Telephone interview is the worst form of interview, all they did was pick on weaknesses from ur application and ur not even given enough time to explain how are you going to mitigate them!

It's in Built Environment. I managed to get my time right! The interview is at 10:40 UK time, at first I was not sure whether we are ahead or behind UK.

I am waiting for the telephone interview and so nervous! The worst thing now is I can't even recall the time difference between UK and my country :(

Desperately looking for studentship

Hi all, I am from outside UK and in desperate need of funding for a PhD. I just received a response to the studentship application I made and I was so optimistic but I was not successful. Can anyone give me an advice for the future applications. The studentships for international students are really scarce and far in between. Academically I do meet the requirements i.e first class undergrad and even have masters from UK. Thank you.
