Hi people,
So I have a few 1+3 studentship offers one of which is from Sussex through the SPRU. I did my BA in Dev Studies at Sussex which was great. My supervisors would be supportive and well suited, I know I'd have a great experience.
My only concern is, does it look bad or hinder postdoc prospects at other universities to have all your degrees from the same institution?
And also what is so important about Russell Group Universities? (am I mad to turn down 3 russel groups for sussex?)
Thankyou very much for any replies!! :-)
Hello,
I find myself in a wonderful but tricky dilema! I have been offered ESRC studentships at all 4 universities, Bristol, Sussex, Exeter and Cardiff! I have under 3 weeks to make a decision, I did my undergrad (dev studies) at Sussex so I know the pro's and con's there, but don't know anything about the others!
I hold 1+3s and My research area is interdisciplinery crossing sustainable development, socio-economics, human geography, science & technology studies.
So if anyone has advice or has studied/studying at any of these Uni's I would love any guidence to help me make this decision like ...
Supportive environment?
Space to work?
Campus pros/cons?
City life / student life?
opportunities?
...etc....??
Any comments muchly appreciated!
Cheers,
Molly
