is it too late to apply for a biological science PhD now?

T

I have got 2:1 (in UK) and want to apply for PhD. But is it now too late to apply? is it too late to find a funding?
moreover, is it hard to get funding with 2:1?

T

There still could be studentships available for admission later this year you just need to search around for them.. As for funding, I got a 2:1 and got funding. I think the BBSRC stipulate at least a 2:1 for funding.

Still plenty of them out there. Apply as fast as you can tho. Make sure It is something you can put your heart into though.

As a note BBSRC funding specifies either a 2.1 or higher or equivalent, which includes 2.2 + MSc/MRes. Alot of PhD students I know have 2.1s rather than 1sts. I would hesitantly say more have 2.1s actually.

Go get yourself a funded PhD!

there are still lots advertised from what i have seen so keep trying!

Yes, still some being advertised and still (my group's studentship for example) waiting to be advertised! You're worrying about not being able to find a studentship at this time of year and I'm worrying about not being able to find a student, doh! Hopefully we are both worrying unnecessarily Good luck!
