It does. I have a MSc and an ordinary degree and most of the comments I get is that I need to do the honours. Pretty much EVERY PhD which is funded. If unfunded not so much of an issue,

What powders are you mixing? Rheology or magnetic stirrer?

Mendeley now but at uni doing my MSc I used Refworks

I'm about that now!

I Emailed the mods as well to give them a gentle nudge!

I didn't get onto the St Andrew's PhD :(

I am still waiting to hear back from unis I have applied for. Starting to get worried.

Reponse I got from my local uni:

"Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately, we are unable to consider an application from you for this studentship. Applicants must have a minimum of a First Class Honours degree or a good 2.1 Honours degree and/or a Masters degree."

Is this a lead on from the Loftus and Palmer study per chance?

Congrats you!!

I had to get the MSc to cover for my first degree course being shut down just as I was due to go into the honours year! I have a huge gaping hole for UK degrees, but oddly I am following the european model of BSc then MSc as mine was with the OU.

I applied to St Andrews for a PhD and the disabilities office have already contacted me LOL NEVER had that before lol!

I had a sociopathic lecturer who decided to use me as a target. I told a lecturer about the full on abuse I had. Some bullies won't listen to you, for them it is a drug. They won't change, but the only thing that can stop them for a while if to have some sort of consequence for their behaviour.

Chances are whatever you do anyway, the bully will still do it! Even worse for me as they had just become head of department. You're half screwed really. (I know I maybe am as I can't get a job or a job studentship) :(

LOL I sent an application for a PhD to an old supervisor and I still got rejected. I have seen that too, the amount of people who do their PhDs at their alma mater. Your not ruffling feathers Mr or Ms Engineer, you're being truthful!

Can I ask what the topic it is you are doing your PhD on, maybe someone here can give you a litle help?
