Thanks Coat man will do.

Thanx Jade,

I think it is important to get the correct faculty members in a university also as they can add or decrease your marks significantly by the advice and assistance they give or lack of it.

I ve taken your advice and am looking at universities now, hopefully ill get lucky and find one thats right for me.

Good luck with your own research, criminology sounds very interesting :-)

Thanks again

Hey anyone who reads this, I ve completed a Masters and am graduating in December, i ve taken a bit of time off to save for a PhD. I have a few questions,



1. Is it possible to gain entry with a BA honours 2.1 and a MA of approx 60 (Dont have my results yet) in to a doctoral programme?
2. If your MA thesis advisor does not really have confidence in one getting into a doctoral programme should the student listen to him and give up or not throw in the towel?
3. Is it difficult to find a PhD course to suit?
4. Is it possible to do a PhD without funding?
5. Where are good places or universities to gain funding? (History, Theology or Philosophy) in UK or Ireland?

I realise these may be obvious questions to anyone in the know but excuse my ignorance.
Cheers
Raymond :-)(up):p
