I am currently in the process of applying for a Phd
i've applied at the same university where I am currently doing my masters degree, the phd supervisor involved is also the course leader for my masters.
I haven't heard anything back yet (he said soon), but I wanted to apply for a different type of course based another university.
the problem I have is that one of my references is my potential supervisor/masters course leader!
i'm just a little stuck at the moment as i'm still waiting on the phd, and if I apply for the second course before knowing about the phd would that cause some problems?
if anyone has been in a similar situation it would most appreciated.
Many Thanks
must have applied early, having probably only started your masters, I suppose universities take into account your first degree, do most expect 2:1s, First, and is there anything else they would take into account (you know being that early on in a masters)?
My University (Lincoln) have introduced courses called MCOMP.
they are basically a 4 year undergraduate course, which includes in the final year, some elements that are taken for a masters course.
If doing the MComp Year would that be equalivent to doing a Masters?
And also would the funding work like undergraduate or postgraduate for some of it?
I am wondering if trying to change my degree to MComp, rather than finishing my Bsc and doing an Msc would be better.
Any thoughts helpful.
I am applying for a paticular masters course, and have an application form, it asks for 2 references, but justs ask me there name, address, email etc.
would I just fill then, and wait for the person to reply without first telling, I understand lectures are'nt allow to give you a bad reference, just tell them about you, as a student!
Any help appreciated
