thank you all for your responses. I like the idea of pretending I am doing one to see how it fits in. I think I will also contact some potential supervisors. I have two in mind (at the same Uni).

Thanks again. I will let you know how it goes...

Hi. I was never an academic. I never struggled, but I was never that interested and a scrapped by. I passed my degree (law with a 2.2) without ever putting in much effort at all.

I now think - 12 yrs later - that i let myself down badly at the time. I fell into a law career, and surprisingly I am now very successful and work in an area of law i love, but have never formally studied.

I would dearly love to start a Phd in this area because I love it and want to prove to myself (and the world) that I have what it takes and make up for my time wasted a younger man.

Do I have any hope of acheiving this?

Would have to be part time as I work full time and have a young family.

Be glad to hear your views.

Thanks
DH
