anyone else been in this situation? I got a uni funded PhD, where the topic was already set, so I went into it thinking the supervisors had a good idea what they wanted to achieve. I started nearly two months ago, and had realised they don't really seem to know what they want to do. The topic has been covered at length and I'm struggling to get my head around what will make my PhD different. My supervisors are great and approachable, (i have 3) but they each have different expertise and don't know about each others areas. We came up with a general plan of acion but it's all been done before. How unique does a PhD have to be? How did other people come up with the angle they want to persue?
