Hi,
I am a fully funded, part-time PhD student (luckilly, funded by the Faculty in which I work) and have submitted my proposal which has recently been externally reviewed and accepted. Having read the comments on the reviews and spoken to my colleagues, I have had a complete change of heart with regard to the subject area I intended to research. Because I believe I am lucky to be fully funded and employed by the University I am really apprehensive about changing my mind and approaching my supervisors to tell them this. What will be the procedure if I have changed my mind now that I have registered and submitted a proposal? I still want to do my PhD but feel like I am messing people around with my change of mind and I am scared the Faculty will withdraw the agreed funding, even though I am prepared to begin from scratch with a new proposal in my new, chosen subject area. Any comments/advice welcomed, thanks.
