I applied for a PhD got an MPhil offer letter

D

Hi all, this might sound silly, but I applied for a PhD place and just got an email congratulating me for getting an Mphil place. Is this because in England you first enrol onto an Mphil?

S

Yep, that's correct! Many universities in the UK enrol their PhD students on to an MPhil first, then at the end of your first year you can be upgraded to a PhD and head into your second year after successful completion of a first year report and viva.
Congratulations!
