im not sure i first makes a difference in terms of ability to do a PhD ive often heard more people have 2.1 that do PhDs, and it wouldnt be wasting it if you didnt do a PhD, you have really got to be 100% motivated and committed as its hard work, if your hearts not in it, you wouldnt enjoy it and maybe end up leaving thus wasting years anyway.
i went from Bsc to PhD, but did a years placement in research, most people where i am based have Mscs but not all, if your degree incorporated a lot of research and your enthusiastic some places a msc is not necesaary, but like i said funding deadlines are probably passed. I wouldnt advise doing a Phd if you like research once in a while its pretty much solid for the three years!
well. you have to love lab work and research to do a molecular bio Phd otherwise it would be three long years! if you would be doing it purely for Cv purposes i wouldnt bother as you could earn just as much doing other things.
Second you might have missed out on many funded PhDs for this year as its usually october starting date.
Is teaching what you want to do.. as you mention would that look good on your cv too, what is your ultimate aim?
