MPhil?

Hi Baltar

Thanks for your advice. Yes, you are right, there is not sense in continuing after appealing.
I would try to go further with my research (I am not sure if I want the Mphil from here) and then contact other university to continue, the thing is how to avoid to start from the begining. Any way, I know that it is not going to be easy and it will take me long time.

Thanks again

Hi

A brief summary of my situation:

I am finishing my second PhD year in economics in a UK university. I failed 2 out 3 exams and I ask them that I wanted to resit. The department told me that they had studied my case and they had decided just give me the chance to submit for Mphil, 'they didn't find evidence of successful research'. I was shocked because I never imagined that, actually even that my supervisor never showed interest for my topic I am sure that my research was interesting.
Also, I consider that the procedures never were followed properly, I never had Thesis Advisor Group (from the PhD manual I needed see them at least twice a year, even from the first year), so how could I have known that my research was wrong). I saw these two guys (Thesis Advisor Group ) just a couple of weeks before my workshop research (18 months after I started). Moreover, if my research was not going well why they leave me to pass to the second year (and pay another year).
Well, at this point I am not sure if I want the Mphil, leave everything, or appeal the decision. I really wanted do research. Some friends have recommend me to appeal.
I would really appreciate any advice of that.
