Do you need a 2:1 to actually be accepted for a PhD in all cases? Would it be possible to get a funded PhD with a 2:2 and an MSc. by research?

YES... try reading some of the articles on the left hand side b4 asking the same stupid questions again and again...

...or maybe don't bother replying to posts that you find annoying??

I can reply to whichever posts I want!

Thank you Annoyed for bringing some colour into the forum. :)

yes ho ho ho. However, I assume this forum is meant to be about helping people. Perhaps if someone asks what may be a silly questions you should ignore it rather than issuing tiresome little jibes.

Well it makes life more interesting doesn't it??!!

no

I bet you're always the life and soul of a party then aren't you Rob??!

Sorry to interupt, but here comes our standard answer - yes you can get a PhD with a 2(ii) plus an MSc. See our Funding and PhDs Explained sections for links and information.
