Hi Mek,

It is clearly indicated by ESRC Quota, outlet/dept' decision is final. i think you should not have any doubt about it as long as you fulfil the eligibility criteria (residence status).

Anyway, some depts ask candidates to fill up the ESRC form before the selection process, but in other case, depts ask only successful candidates to fill up the ESRC form (i.e. Cambridge). I am waiting for such feedback from Cambridge.

Would please tell me what is your case.

Thanks

Could you please tell me whether it is legitimate to enrol and continue two full time postgraduate courses at two different institutions at the same?


THANKS.

THANKS

Hi,

Stress is over!
Received admission offer from Judge Business School, Cambridge University.

Cheers

Hi Lisa,

You need to apply through university. Whether its ESRC Quota or Open, you need to apply to the recognised outlets (depts). then dept will decide whether your application will be selected for Quota or Open. In case of Quota, the dept is fully responsible to recruit candidates. But in case of Open, the application will be forwarded to ESRC for open competition (ESRC is responsible to recruit candidates). Pls do visit http://www.esrc.ac.uk/ESRCInfoCentre/opportunities/postgraduate/index.aspx

Rgds,

Could you please share your ESRC (1+3) Quota or open experience. Recenly I've been told my application will be submitted for ESRC at Oxford (applied for a course that is recognised by ESRC and the dept is allocated ESRC 1+3 Quota as well). Even, I have not heard anything about admission offer. I am bit confused!!!

Please share your experience. It would be very helpful for me.

Thanks

Thanks Guys for your very helpful comments. I am not familiar with the saystem at all. By the way, I have not received any feedback about my MSc application as well. That's why I am bit confused!

Hi,

Would you please help me providing me some comments!! I have applied to Oxford for a MSc, recognised by ESRC (1+3) Quota. I have not yet filled up any ESRC application. I applied to the programme back in November 2008 for 2009/10. Few days ago, I have made enquiry to Admin regarding ESRC (saying I'm interested to apply for ESRC).



They replied: ………….You do not need to do anything else. Your application will be submitted for ESRC funding. The committee will set up a self-service account for you to monitor the progress of your application in due course……………….



Please suggest me what does it mean! Your any comment shall be highly appreciated.

hey ana....interview is over..i got an email from oxford saying that to inform about my intending GMAT test date ASAP. I've not yet taken my GMAT test.....Any way....wat's ur comment abt it.....can i expect any Offer.....cheers

hi.....abt funding....i am looking forward to esrc funding or any other funding within the dept. if not, then take the risk of self-funding....wat abt u....

unfotunately, there is no march/april entry at any decent uk university.

hi ana.............only two people, prospective supervisor who showed interest on the topic and head of the dept.....no more interview....i need to take gmat if offered.....let me know before 20th of march.....since phd topic is same as my master topic, they will review the dissertation...however they showed very positiv all over and appreciated my works so far....i hv done two master degrees from a uk university..they liked it and questioned me on that point......thax

Hi Ana,

My interview is over. I was serious nervous and performed unexpectedly bad. But interviewers have shown very positive attitude towards me. Interviewers kept the hard copy of my MSc dissertation saying that they will go through on it (dissertation topic is same as PhD topic). I am very sad now. I don’t what’s going to happen......

Hi,

You need to perform in your current programme, also need to develop a strong research proposal. However, MBA with distinction has a very little value if you have a poor result in your current UK degree. Other factors also matter……………………..

thanks for your notes. but i got my interview schedule with my prospective supervisor to whom i initially contacted, he shown interest on my topic, and suggested me to apply.

let see how it goes.....and i will let u know.....anyway, do u think it sounds positive?
