PhD Founding & Place

G

Hi there, I have just completed an MSc course and this year I will continue working in my supervisors lab as a volunteer so as to try and get a publication more. There is a possibility that the project that I worked on this year will be published. i have a 2:2 degree and a good pass in my master. Does anyone know if I have any chances of getting some sort of founding for a PhD?

Yeah that sounds like a good plan! If you get publications it'll mean you're sorted! And working as a volunteer shows you're committed! It'll mean you have a good a chance as anyone of getting funding! You should try your supervisor to see if he/she has any projects or knows of anyone with projects going! I'm doing something similar to you and I've had a good response so far although competition is still fierce!

But alot of it has to do with luck!!!!!! You need loads!!! So Good luck to us both!!!

I've just read on another link that you should buy cake to impress supervisors which I totally agree with! I'm sure you can't go wrong with chocolate cake!
