Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has left a funded PhD and how they told their supervisor? How did it go and how did you go about it? Were they understanding?

Thanks

I left a funded PhD for medical reasons (developing a progressive MS-like illness). I didn't have the courage to tell my supervisor my final decision face to face. I emailed him. I regret that. I wish I'd spoken to him face to face. But he was understanding, and delighted that I managed to complete a part-time PhD in a totally opposite subject more recently.
