Hi all!

I'm a MSc student of Ecology, doing my master's thesis abroad, and I was thinking to apply for a PhD but I have some questions. Which is the minimum grade you need to get a PhD and to get funds?

I have a 6,5/10 (it's like 2.2 in UK system I think) in my BSc and I'm going to achieve 8,5-9/10 in my Master. It's going to be difficult? Which are the odds? I'm looking for a PhD not only in UK, but specially in Germany (Although I'm open to other countries).

Another issue is, do you recommend me to apply for more than one PhD position at the same time? Of course, I'll talk with the research group where I'm right now, but just in case.

Thank you very much in advance :-)
