Update part of application after deadline or not??
K

Only thing to update would be your contact details, or if you have received an important degree result.

reference materials for research
K

I don't mean to sound offensive but you cannot expect to do and pass a masters if you cannot find your own research material. It might be more prudent to learn how to research before researching your own topic.

Academic Job prospect in UK, Canada and States????
K

First thing I would suggest is to look at your passport and see which of those countries you can work in. That is most likely the defining point for which is the best country for you.

Job wise you will almost always get paid more in the US, but you have to consider the benefits outside of pay. I don't know about EE in particular but there is a very big difference in the work ethic from the UK to US. Factor in such things as cost of living, cost and QUALITY of health care etc etc.

You cant just give a binary answer to such a question.

Congrats! You are living proof there is hope for us lot yet!

Silly question about how a Masters is graded
K

Research masters tend to be just Pass or Fail. (Pass with minor corrections or pass with major corrections are possible too.)

Locks on bedroom doors
K

Worry more about having a good lock on the front door. The majority of locks on the front doors of student houses can be bypassed in 10 seconds without damage to the lock, so that your insurance most likely wont cover your lost possessions.

And by good lock I mean like one from Kaba, Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, Schlage and BiLock. All the others can be easily bumped.

looking for PhD in microbiology/molecularbiology or related
K

This topic has been covered many times over. Search back through the forum for more detail. But to paraphrase, Not much funding at all for non-EU students. Best bet is to check this forum's parent site www.findaphd.com

Good luck in finding one.

Is BSC from London External Programme recognized by US Grad School?
K

You have to ask the specific grad school. They often have the information on the web site. In a lot of cases you have to have the degree converted by a company that defines equivalences. Again that information is on the grad school's web site.

ESRC - Still not heard anything
K

I'm kind of in the same boat with a BBSRC case award. Ive asked around and apparently I wont get anything until I show up on the first day and have like LOADS of forms to fill in.
It might be the same for you too.

will minor colour blindness affect phd
K

You will be fine doing it. You may have difficulty doing certain assays by eye, but usually the colour changes are quite obvious. Or more likely you use a spec anyway to quantify.

PHD in Creative Writing
K

I probably dont need to mention it but dont overlook the eurostar and the unis near eurostar stops (IE London Universities and the University of Kent.)

Are horses related to sea horses???
K

No. They are separated at the class level. Seahorses are "fish" and horses are mammals.

Seahorses are so cool to watch swim about, really relaxing. Kinda weird that the male in the species is the one that gets pregnant though.

Early bird or not?
K

I go through cycles of either morning or night person. Some weeks I am in at 7:30. Others I struggle to get in for 10! I don't seem to leave any earlier when I get in earlier tho...
