Apologies if this posts twice my pc is playing up. I have found three PhDs i am intrested in doing but they are not quite on the topics i wish to further study but are close is there much scope for changing these topics ?

Also has anyone had any dealings with the White Rose Consortium and Bournmouth Univeristy any feed back much appreciated.


Kind Regards Tim Chadwick

It depends on the supervisor -

But in scientific PhDs its very unlikely that you will finish doing the exact project you started and theoretically after 1st year its up to you what direction it should go - although it will be within the confines of your supervisors experimental area usually

So the point is, it is possible to change

However if it is an industry funded one - then they tend to be very directed and usually have to do what they were funded for

hope this helps

Good luck

Thanks thats pretty much what i expected to be honest so im making a few phone calls to the supervisors concerned tommorow to talk to them and see what the scope is

Cheers Tim

sounds like a plan - but make sure that you emphasise that you are REALLY interested in their area of research, you would just like to tweak it a little if possible to incorporate your own research interests - so you don't give off the wrong signals

I'm sure you wouldn't anyway - just thought I'd point it put
