I've been researching my masters, and have finally narrowed it down to three, but I don't have any real information about postgraduate study, and not sure if I can apply to all my choices. Do I have to choose just the one, or can I apply to all three? And can I apply for funding to all three? I'm applying to the AHRC.

Thanks

I'm doing an MA at Manchester and went through a similar process. You can apply to as many as you want, but the sooner you start, the better, as the AHRC application needs a lot of work and there's a lot of competition. You can't apply for the AHRC until you have a definite choice.

i tried applyin for UEA last year but failed to get it. Was wondering if competition is tougher with which unis. THe funny thing is, according to Guardian's rankings, some of the best universities in ENGLISH, however, see UEA's rankings at a paltry 40-something placing. So it doesnt quite add up.

Royal Holloway, Uni of Sussex, Middlesex Uni, Goldsmiths and Bath Spa. Does anyone know in which order does competitiveness ascend?
