Advice please
I'm trying to see if there's any kind of relationship between 2 sets of variables - set A contains 7 values (different kinds of job roles) and set B contains 5 values (different kinds of issues encountered in doing the job).
Correlation assumes the same number of items in set A and set B. Is there a test/technique that can be used in the scenario above?
Has anyone heard whether the increase in undergrad fees that UK government are introducing will impact on PhD fees? If it does, then it could deter us self-funders?
And it's great to find that those of us doing Masters and want to go on to PhD are not alone. I've sought of got the bug and it gives me a framework / structure in which to explore, develop my ideas and write. How about you?
I'm working full-time.
My first degree was in history & politics and I'm currently doing a MSc in Commercial Management (work-related). And it's given me a base for developing my own research interests through my dissertation.
I'll be working full-time for about half the 7 years I've been given to do the PhD. I plan to move away from full-time work and this will free up more time for the PhD.
I didn't have an interview.
Are you working as well?
Hi Gazebum
Great idea to start a thread for newbie PhDers.
I'm starting a part-time PhD at S'oton in Sept 2011 with the same supervisor that I have for my current MSc dissertation.
When I applied I submitted an overview of my research area and the kind of issues that I want to explore. I'm adding ideas and possible issues to explore as I go along. My topic's in the area of ethics and how these link to other activities.
What area in English Lit are you starting to focus on?
Kamilla,
I'm a few years younger than you, still working and looking ahead. I'll be starting my PhD in September 2011 after I complete my MSc in June. I'll be self-funding. I've had not problems being accepted for a PhD nor encountered any obstacles on my MSc. I've discovered that I enjoy research and writing and this gives me a framework for following my passions. I'm also passionate about my research interests. So go for it and if you want mutual support, send me a PM.:-):-)
Hi
I'm trying to follow up Walminskipeas's link of the .pdf copy of How to Get a PhD by Morris and Pugh
The link they give: http://www.2shared.com/file/3904435/ee23ecb5/How_to_Get_a_PhD_4th_Edition.html
isn't working.
Has anyone else any suggestions where we can find it (I've spent quite sometime trying to find an alternative link).
Any suggestions appreciated.
I've issued my survey for my dissertation and now have the responses/answers to the questions to analyse. These are in Excel. Any suggestions on how I convert the responses into the coding system I've devised? Does it mean taking each response /answer (which could take some time).
Any suggestions appreciated.
