Hey again! Just had a look online- if you google 'ESRC accredited masters' and click on the first link, it takes you to another link for a list of courses that the ESRC will accept as providing sufficient training in research to apply for PhD funding with them. It might not be relevant to your subject area, and of course you could get funding from elsewhere, but the ESRC do fund a lot of psychology projects so might be worthwhile considering. Best, KB

Thank you, Ill have a look at this, im greatful for the advise, thank you again

I was wondering if anybody could help, im going to be taking a masters, but im unsure whether an MRes or an MSc is the best to take a PhD afterwards, or doesn't it matter which one i take?

That would be great, I'm at Keele as well. I will ask my tutor about that when I start back again. Thank you

Quote From elmo310:

Research Experience! It's essential whether you do a masters or go straight from Bsc-PhD. One question: Can you afford a masters degree course?

I personally have opted not to do a MSc, I have an EU funded MSc just in case I didn't get a PhD, but luckily as I had a bit of research experience I got offered a fully funded PhD.

Can you talk to your undergraduate project supervisor or personal tutor?

I havent got any experience yet, but i will have a bit in summer next year when i next finish the year. I cant personally afford a masters, ill be getting a loan for it, or beg my parents.

Yes i can talk to them, should i just ask the same thing to them?

Thank you, it has helped quite a bit in my decision, definitely going to do a MSc first. Thank you to both of you.

I'm currently studying neuroscience and psychology (undergraduate), and i want to do neuroscience PhD (for definite). But the thing is, is it worth it for me to do an MSc in neuroscience as well? I'm not to sure what i want to work as when i finished, i have multiple options that i like, such as a lecturer, research or a neuropathology.
