I am just wondering on the number of PhDs people have applied for?

giving you a better chance of securing a place and hopefully some funding to go along too!

what are you talking about?

How many different universities did you apply for?

1 [One]

You?

I have a few in mind at the moment, just checking if anybody had to send quite few applications across multiple universities?

I was just lucky to get accepted plus funding the first time I tried, but I think it's normal to apply to many universities. good luck

I applied to ten universities altogether (in and out of the uk) and got two scholarship offers, one full funding and one partial funding
