Can you apply for funding in your second year of your PhD and turn it into four if you don't get funding the first time round?

Over 1 year increase your chances of getting PhD funding the next year?

Your a genius.

What subject are you studying/wanting to study?

But I'm wondering should I aproach toe dept or get my current dept to?

No it's my ideas but i need funding but it overlaps into another subject area.

Sorry another question who approaches other depts for funding?

The funding won't be external it will be internal.

Okay you have one studentship.

However you want it to be funded by 2 departments. Now a department can't give you a whole studentship as it takes it away from someone else.

Sorry I mean if you have 1/2 a studentship from one dept and 1/2 from another.

If you went through a departmental studentship you wouldn't qualify if you have half from each for a full studentship. So do they have other funding for 1/2 studentships?

As you have studentships but if you get funding from both then you don't qualify or is that a different pot of money?

So is it internal or external funding? Sorry I'm new to all this.

It's a good answer. So would it be 1/2 and 1/2 for funding and like living costs?

Is it split between two or just one?
