I'm prospective PhD student/ my areas is about media and politics. The thing is I got 2 offers from 2 universities in UK. One is a very good/well known/ good ranking university but they offered me a MA degree, saying that I dont have enough background so they just want me to take another MA and after that I need to re-apply for their PhD which I dont know if they'll accept me or not. ( Ive already got an MA) The other university is kinda new/ranking abt 70 from 100/ research quality is quite low and they offer me a PhD. For me I really want to go straight to PhD but name of the university also counts for me. I need to make a decision soon for my visa application which takes almost a month to complete. Do you think I shd take another MA (is it necessary? but there's no guarantee for PhD) or shd i go straight to PhD (I'm afraid it'll turn out I dont have firm grounds in my area) Please help!!
