thanks for your replies keenbean and Pineapple. I think your right keenbean, I need to talk to some departments and see whether I can get funding. I also should look at doing an msc, although I think it might be a bit late to apply for September.

Thanks again,

Coa

I received a 2.2 MEng (Master of Engineering) from a top 20 uni in 2008. Does anyone think it is possible to get funding for a PhD with this? An MEng is considered a Ugrad degree even though it stands for masters of engineering. From reading some of the threads, I think that I need to do an msc and get a 2.1 to get funding for a PhD. I have been working in industry for a year now.

Am I more likely to get a position in the department that I studied?

I'm also a home student.

Thank you.
