Hi all,
I've been looking through some of the previous posts and am now starting to panic!
I'm in the middle of applying to my local uni to do a part-time self-funded MPhil with the possibility of transferring to a PhD after 2 years. I've been in touch with a potential supervisor who has been helping me with my application. So far so good, the problem is I've been looking at the kinds of things that are asked in interviews, and one thing that keeps cropping up is the final year project - the problem is that I didn't do one! I've got a BA and a BSc and didn't have to do a dissertation for either - is that going to be a major black mark against me? I'm passionate about the topic I'm applying for, and I know that I have the skills to be successful, just can't prove it :o(
Any ideas?
Thanks
I think your results are more important. You can always emphasise some of those modules if you feel more confident in expressing your love for the subject through those. I don't remember showing anyone any of my writings when I applied for my PhD; just listed them with the modules on the application form.
Good luck with your applications.
