Hi
I am trying to transfer my MPhil/PhD to a more supportive uni, but have been told as I was so close to transfer stage, I would transfer straight onto PhD route. Has anyone any experience of this predictament? Is this the norm?:-)

Hi, I have had a two person team throughout. Their knowledge of research degrees on the whole has been good, but not my topic of research. Yes I am fee paying, and the head of department has been a supervisor but said he does not have the skills!!! (Professor).
I actually do have enough to produce an MPhil thesis (all 60000words), but is this a possible route as I currently have no supervisory team at my uni?

Hi
I am a third year part time MPhil/PhD student, who has had five supervisor/director of studies changes through no fault of my own. The uni I am at may not have anyone left to direct my studies, hence may need to transfer to another uni. I was due to transfer from Mphil to PhD this month (will be delayed), but just feel totally rundown by it all. I almost feel like walking away if I could but this seems a waste of three years. I have worked with so many different people who do it one way, then the next want it another way, I have started questionning the fundamentals of my research such as methodology and the point of doing it at all. I was asked today about my methodology from a perspective supervisor (qualitative phenomenolgy) and was a complete blank canvas - thats a first!

Has anyone any advice? I would be grateful.
