The University of Reading is also very well known for research in Agriculture (some say it is the best in the UK) so it might be worth a shot.

I have already been accepted to another university as I am "finishing an MPhil" and not "quitting a PhD" in my current university as I have not yet transferred from MPhil to PhD status.

I need to work but there is a chance I can do the PhD (they call it DPhil actually in the new university) and do the research on the same project I am assigned to at work!

I have narrowed it down to either stopping at an MPhil or continuing for a PhD at a different university and spending 5-6 more years from now while also working full time. I really do not know what to do.
I want to get a PhD and not only a second Master (I already have one) but I am not sure if I can cope with 5-6 years studying while also working.

What do you mean what I am talking about? I am asking for your opinion on my options.

In the meanwhile I have applied for 4 new PhD’s (2 funded and full time that means that I won’t have to work full time) and 2 part-time. I have been told already that I will be accepted at the 1 part-time PhD even though I have not received the official letter. The University I applied to is much more renown that the one I am currently studying at (the new University is in the first 2 in the UK whereas my current one is between 25th and 40th depending on whom you are asking).

My options now are:
1. Continue with the same thesis and spend 4 years part time at a less known University and for a subject I will find difficult if not impossible to prove.
2. Start a new part time degree at a much better University and spend 6 years.
3. If I get the funded position start a 3 year PhD BUT quit my job which is really good (even though it is only for 2 years there is a good chance I could get an extension later).

I have been working on a PhD for the last 2.5 years, registered as a full time student but actually doing less than I should as I am also working 3.5 days a week.
So, instead of transferring from MPhil to DPhil at the end of the two years I will have to do that in September (3 years since I started).

I have 2 problems that I face. Firstly I will start working full time from the 1st of May and in addition to this my current research has not produced the desired results and thus it will be difficult to transfer without changing the scope of the PhD completely.

That would mean that I would need at least 4 more years part-time to finish.

My supervisors are very helpful but not really experts in my chosen subject and actually one of them is against to what I am trying to prove. He told me that at the beginning but he also told me to give it a go if I believe that it is feasible.
