Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have approached the institution for more clarification and it is a bit unclear from the ad....

Hi,

I've worked in industry for over ten years and I'm seriously considering starting a PhD.

But, I'm particualry interested in how part-time paid PhD's can work . . .

I've seen an advert for a one in a department/institution I really rate. Presumably everyone wants to be paid while they study?

My understanding is that it's a full time job for two years. Dividing your time between teaching and research, both are paid roles. You also register for a part-time PhD programme and the fees for that are paid and you get a stipend.

After the 2 years you may get taken on but you obviously still have the PhD to finish which I believe could be done in 4.

I'm new to this but, it seems too good to be true - or am I missing something?

I'd be interested in feedback from anyone who has embarked of a PhD structured like this and how they juggle it?
Thanks
