Quote From emmaki:

I don't want to believe that you weren't successful because of your colour.... I guess there was some other reason (like an internal applicant or something else)....
I am female, not British and I had no problems in finding a PhD.
As far as your question, I am PT and I work FT in my country. It is difficult, but it is doable. I work 7 hours every day and 4-5 more on my PhD.
I am in my second year and I have finished my litterature review (well a first draft of it), my research and my first analysis.
If you want it...you can do it!

Hello Emmaki,

Thanks for your contribution. It is easy to get a Phd without studentship. what I applied for was a studentship(Funding)--In the UK, your tution fees are paid and you get paid monthly till you complete the Phd. I guess yours wasnt so.
Thanks

Thanks you all for your response. I decided to add more information so you can see why i think i have been discriminated. I have a 2.1 in Enginneering, I also have 2 masters degree,infact, I am currently on my third one and all in Engineering.

My first application-- I applied for an advertised studentship to a scottish University- suddently, I got a letter from them after 2weeks saying---Sorry, there is no one to supervise your proposed topic". I quickly replied them and told them that I didnt propose a topic but only responded to an advertised studentship--Till today they ignored me and didnt reply me.

Second Application,-- I applied for an studentships advertised to take 25 students- after , a week, they asked for my British passport., i quickly send it to them. after three weeks, i got an email---- "Sorry although your application is very strong, competion was high and you have been unsuccessful". I am black and in late 30s.

Hello Josie,

How are you enjoying your Studies. Please can you give me an idea of the questions you were asked during your Phd interview. I am planning attending one very soon.

Regards
Tony
