Hi!!
I am hoping to do a part-time PhD in Canadian film at Birmingham Uni (as it is the only one that specialises in this area of research). However I am 30 and live and work in London and completely moving up to Birmingham as a part-time student is not really an option!! London has a great range of resources like the BFI, British Library etc so I think that I will be about to conduct most of the research down South. Birmingham is only 2 hours away on the train so I could get up there for meetings, tutorials, library visits etc...
If there anyone else out there who is doing a part-time arts/humanities PhD living away from their university, I would really love to hear from you about your experiences!
Thanks
Kate :-)
