I'm in my last year at uni and I'm looking to do a PhD but am finding all the information a bit overwhelming. I am quite interested in doing an industry sponsored PhD but a bit unsure where I should be looking for them. Also, my professors have been telling me I should be looking and applying now yet all the websites are mainly advertising for 2005 entry not 2006 entry. Any help would be appreciated, I'm a bit confused!

Hi there Kat ! Well, I assume you're a UK student. So a good marker for industrial projects is those offering CASE studentships. These are PhDs that involve both uni and industry time (and pay quite well too *wink*). What area are you looking to do a PhD in ?

Oh and don't forget a lot of unis are still only just starting their academic year so are still getting the new students in. Give it about a month and you'll start seeing more for entry next year.
