Hi, I started an MPhil/PhD in January 2004. I had a lot of problems since then with my supervisor. I complained with the Dep and the Uni. But I just got a second supervisor that is not in my field and said to me clearly that he can’t help me. The department turns a blind eye on the situation my supervisor brought in lots of money with grants, and the Uni can’t take action because funding does not belong to the Uni. but it comes from a grant that my supervisor got . My supervisor is continuously criticizing me and delaying my work without providing support or proposing the right approach. I didn’t so far collect any data because of this........continued below

......I come from abroad where I would like to go back but in my country they do not value PhDs, they think that they are overqualified and lacking job experience, getting a job in uni.es there is impossible. I am thinking to say that I don’t want to transfer this could make him a bit more easy with me, and I could get earlier out with an MPhil. However, my fear is that like other times in the past he will get angry and that he’ll try to cut me the funding. Well, in that case I could simply fly back from where I come, but I would have wasted more than one year.

Please give me some advice! Thanks a lot
