Heya!
We're both doing single criminology and have just completed our second year. Thank you for your advice about the masters, it helps to be realistic when applying for funding and doesn't mean that we wont/can't get funding for the PhD. We was looking at essex, which have a range of research courses which look appealing to what fields we want to go into - me more in social policy area and criminal justice policy, whereas my partner wants to pursue a comparative criminology approach and culture. We're both really career minded and ambitious, while sharing similar interests, so we're both doing this for ourselves and eachother, as we always support and encourage eachother, and work well as a team acedemically (through the independent research we've nearly finished)
I hope you get great results and really enjoy your Masters! We get ours in a week!
Thank you so much for your help, it's been great,
Sarah
Heya,
I'm looking for some advice on funding issues in regard to an MA and a PhD for my partner and myself after we have finished our BA(hons) degree in Criminology. We are expected to get 2:1's and we are both very much interested in research. Criminology isn't just about crime, and has major parts from other disciplines incorporated into it, including social policy, research and politics. We have conducted some independent research through a scheme our university runs with two of our lecturers, which will be presented and published in the student journal, and has the potential to further research. What options have we got in regard to obtaining funding for both a research masters and then a PhD, or just the PhD. I've read on the forums that funding is obtained from supervisors on masters courses for PhD, how does this happen? Also what kind of grades would we need to get 1+3 funding?
Thanks for any help!
Sarah
