Thanks for your answer!
I live in Europe but will do the PhD in Humanities in either Scotland or England!

I got in touch with one member of the department who is doing similar research to my topic. He asked me what thought I had given funding but I could not give him a straight answer as this is just early stages yet..!

Good morning,

I have decided to apply for a PhD next year and now I am wondering what I ought to begin with... I have decided a PhD topic and have started to do some initial research for the project plan. I have contacted one university whose research is similar to my topic.

- Should I get in touch with as many universities as possible to discuss the topic etc?
- When do I start looking for funding?

Thanks for your help!

Hi! I'm interested in doing a PhD (in humanities) in the UK and have seen that there are requirements for high BA and MA grades, at most universities. I was a pretty lazy student the first two years at uni and thus do not reach those requirements. However, more determined than ever, I have written a MA thesis which has been "praised", received scholarships and so forth. So, what I'm wondering is, how important is it that my BA-grades are good enough? Is there any possibility that I would be able to do a PhD now that my lately academic work has been of good value and that I can prove it?
