Also does anyone know if you can change a PhD to a masters? Or mPhil?

People can leave a PhD early with an MPhil. But you have to have done enough to write an MPhil quality thesis. I'd doubt you would have done that after 6 months, especially if you're still in the early literature review stage.

Thank you for the info, i'm planning on staying the year (1 year house contract) so I could aim for that. I really need to discuss it with my supervisor but i'm scared he will be disappointed/pissed off
:-(

Hello there,

I am in the same position, 6 months in and I really don't know if its for me. How are you planning on telling your supervisor? I feel guilty leaving after all the help and support they have given me.

Also does anyone know if you can change a PhD to a masters? Or mPhil?

Thanks
