Hi all,



I am considering applying for a funded PhD that I’ve seen advertised on this site. My concern is that the university is about 200 miles from where I live. I re-locate, but am not keen on that. Is it possible to live such a distance from your given university? I am thinking, is it possible to mainly work from home, and travel to university and to meet with your tutor say once a week, or even every two weeks? Is this your tutor’s decision, or is it just not possible? Is there anybody here that currently does this, if so, how well does it work?



Thanks

Hi all,



A question regarding funding…. I have seen a funded PhD on this site that I am interested in, but see that it has the ‘competition funded’ symbol attached to it. I’m not really familiar with this, so was wondering what this usually means. Does this usually mean that one successful candidate will gaining funding? When it says ‘funding’, does this mean that just fees will be paid, or a small wage also?

Thanks
