Hi all,

I am seeking advice regarding the PhD programme. In 2011 I completed my BSc (Hons) which was followed by a PGCE in 2012. I wrote a proposal and easily found a Supervisor at another local Uni to Supervise. Quite quickly she mapped out the project and has a team in mind which I am thrilled about of course.

I have chose to apply part time (self-funding) as I need to work full time for my mortgage, council rates etc. If part time, how many hours should I need to spend on research on a weekly basis?

Any advice welcome and appreciated :)

It totally varies depending on the project and your productivity levels. As a guide you should be looking at 15-20 hours a week.

As a student you don't pay council tax so that's one less thing for you to worry about!
