All though I am no good at exams and it takes me a while to understand things. Once I get my head around what is required I am a way and enjoy studying.
I am going to apply to a couple of unis. If I don't give it a try I never will and I will regrete it later in life. So I know what I will be doing bank holiday monday.
Thanks for the replies

Thanks for hte advice I will do that.

Have a nice day!

I have contacted a couple of universities about details of PhD. I like researching things. I don't yet know of any one who would supervise. Another area I am interested in is quality of life for people with epilespy. Working in social work I come across a lot of perfessionals who say epilespy is not important. Therefore the clinet does not get the support they need. People don't seem to understand that if the epilespy is under control then the persons quality of life improves.

It would help to further my career and move me in the direction I want to go. If I could get the right supervisor then I would be well away. Once I get the bit between my teeth I am off. I just need to right support.

Because I am not very bright. The MSc I have just finished was taught in such away that I never got the informtion I needed to do good pieces of work. Even though they were suppose to offer me extra handouts or explain things again to me. I found that the leactues could not be bothered to offer the extra support. So I am scared that I will face that again.

HI
I would have to fund it myself, so it would have to be part time. So I could still work. It is something I want to do but it may sound silly but I am scared.

I am a social worker and I worked for a department where continuous professional development was not allowed. The manager, felt that CPD was not taught when she qualified so it was not important. There for none of her staff had any other training.
I did my MSc research on CPD and what staff think about CPD. I would like to expand on this now

I have just completed my MSc and would now like to do a PhD. Do you attend lectures and write essays or are PhD's all about your own research?
I am looking at applying to York university although I expect you have to be bright to do a PhD and I am not a quick learner. I need to be drip feed information.
Any answers would be greatfully accepted.
