From what Ive looked into myself and what Ive heard from advice given to me is that competitive studentships are awarded to the 'best' candidate. So the applicant with the highest mark (a first I expect), who impresses at the interview, shows genuine passion and interest for their subject and someone who the potential supervisor is willing to invest in as they see the potential.

Hope this helps

Mmmm, glacial scours? As in abrasion on bedrocks and clast? Not heard that time before. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the previous poster. Nice to meet another geography anyway. What have you gone into? Or going into now?

Funny.

It may not exist in a contemporary setting one day, like a few hundred years, but there is still lots to focus on.

Hi there

I'm currently in the process of looking/applying for a PhD in glaciology and am wondering if there is anyone else out there who is too? The uni's I've short listed will be Southampton, Aber, Swansea, Bristol and possibly Nottingham Trent (where I'm at now).
