Applying for PhD Funding

M

Hello All,

I am new here and wanted to confirm few things on PhD application. I graduated in 2006 with 2.1 in Finance and Banking from a university in Nigeria. In 2011, I started MBA in Business Administration and Management in University in the UK and graduated in 2012. However, i did not make distinction but Pass as i was meant to understand my University Teesside Business School award either distinction or Pass. I could have contested my dissertation grade which i was scored about 55% which obviously was the reason but i never knew this option was available to me because i was an international student then

Now,i want use the opportunity offered by the Govt for £25,000 PhD loan which starts this year to see if i can apply for PhD and i was wondering if Pass in my MBA degree would be enough to secure a place for a PhD course as this is something i am keen on.

I currently have about 5 years industry experience in Project Management

Can anyone advise?

Don't you have to be a UK/EU student to qualify for the PhD loan? Bear in mind the cost of international fees and living expenses - £25 is barely enough to cover 1 year study. How will you fund the rest?
