sweetchic - Why did you think Matt had any connection with FindAPhD?

the format of your last reply is a bit confusing. the list of names that you are reply to, if one reads it from the top- you'd think Matt, Sue and Amanda are part of the team..not til you see your name next..then you realist they are members. get the drift?

Is it any better now?

yap it is, but you didn't have to bother changing it. thanks for taking the trouble though.

Matt is wrong. A masters degree is NOT a failed Phd - it is a seperate degree taken at a different time in a career.

Original question - I got a distinction on my Masters (in research). Out of 8 modules 4 + dissertation needed to be 70% or above.I got over 70% in 7/8 modules.

But - funding is more to do with, do-ability of your proposal, your ability to do it (e.g. appropriate training), suitability of your supervisor and a good research proposal.

That's what counts - not if you have a distinction or not.

Good luck
