Yes, it's for a specific project that was detailed on FindaPhD.com. I can write a proposal but it'll be the same as the description found on the website above.

Hi,

I've just been contacted by admissions with regards to the PhD application I've completed over E-Mail. However one part of the E-Mail doesn't make sense to me.

They are asking for a research proposal for my application to a project already with a title and details about the project. Is there something I'm missing? Do I still have to give a proposal, and what should I include in the proposal other than how I can carry out the work?

I know it's a dumb question but any help would be great!

I'm in a similar boat. I got a 2:2, currently doing a MSc and on course for a Distinction. Looking into Four PhD's but I'll likely won't get any until I actually finish the course WITH a Distinction.

IF I am successful in my applications I am considering buying a Macbook or Macbook Pro for my studies. Reason is that they seem to last longer and all I want to do with it as word processing, bit of video editing, internet and music.

Anyone else here on a PhD with one and are they worth it?

First I'd like to say thanks for the halp with a previous query that has now encouraged me to apply for a few PhD's!

I got in contact with a few supervisors and they have asked for my CV. Should I include a cover letter even though they haven't asked for one? I just thought it may help, but not too sure if they'll just ignore it.

Any experience here would be helpful! Thanks!!

^No, I don't graduate until December '08. Therefore I cannot start a PhD until Jan '09 AT THE EARLIEST.

Hi,

I'm currently studying at MSc level, however doesn't finish until September, so an October start is out of the question.

I can only see October '08 starts at the moment, shall I wait a month or two?

Thanks in advance!

Also would it be possible for your employer after how many years to give you the time off to complete your PhD full time?

Hello,

I'm startign an MSc in september in Cancer Pharmacology and doing a PhD in an area of interest appeals to me.

I would like to work after my MSc, however I also would like to do my PhD part time along aside my graduate work, is this possible? Anyone here carry out PhD research part time?

Or can someone point me in the direction of more information?

Thanks a lot!

For people who have applied recently to do a Masters, what kind of referee's did you use.

Apparently I need two academic referees, so I've chosen my Tutor at university and my supervisor for my current project.

Did anyone else need two academic referees or did you only have one and a personal referee?
