Influence of MA on PhD

J

Hi,

What influence does the content of your MA have on an applicants chances of being accepted onto a PhD? Is it very significant?

I hope to do a PhD on a topic which would be more well suited to an MA at one uni than another. However it is the one that is not as relvant that I prefer in terms of general rep, location, campus etc. Nonetheless both are political thought courses and its in pol thought which i wish to specialise in. Is this sufficient?

I guess i could do my dissertation on the topic i wish to focus on at Phd level and both offer research training.

Any questions please ask
Thanks

U
