Quote From Ann:
Have you identified a research group who are working in a educational research field that you are interested in? If so, perhaps you could contact them to ask about any openings for research students. Good luck :-)
Hey thanks a bunch, Ann! I should really talk to my Masters professors. It's been like two years since I last met them. This would be a great opportunity to. What's this about research groups? (Yes, you can tell I'm totally confused about this.)
Quote From peljam:
I would imagine though that if research is your main aim that you would need some sort of research training, maybe as part of the PhD (PGC in research etc) or as a separate masters, maybe MRes.
PhD's are labours of love (and sometimes hate towards the end). You might be able to do it quickly and efficiently but that's still not guarantee it won't take long.
Thanks for your reply, peljam. I totally know what you mean about PhDs taking time. I've heard so much about people who do it for 25 years. :\ Have people done it in less than three years?
You're right about it being linked with education/psychology. I'm so glad you told me about the experience/enthusiasm bit, because I really want to do this, so perhaps there's a chance. *Fingers crossed*. But if it's going to require an education degree, that's a year wasted. I'm going to sound like a n00b here, but what are PGCs and MRes? Is that like an MPhil degree? And good luck with yours!
