Hi,

I am offered PhD place (as the continuous readers of the forum know :-) ) Now i am planning to deter registration, so I can have 6 more months for searching scholarships. Is postponing registration acceptable in UK?

It's a matter for individual supervisors and (where applicable) sponsors and their timetables. It is possible, but the only person who can say for sure is your supervisor so start there.

My topic interdiscipliniary, so I also have many questions in my mind regarding the supervision process. Would it be awkward if I suggest a telephone call to my supervisor? (I havent talked to her yet, contact only by emails). So I can talk about the deferring as well as the other points...
