PhD offer - Conditional or Unconditional?
M

Hi guys

I have been made an offer for a 4-year PhD studentship in the Life Sciences. The program is funded by the BBSRC and the first year is mostly training (like a master's year I'd say). Around 15 studentships are given each year for this program which is partnership between three universities.

I already hold a first class BSc and I'm currently undertaking a MSc. The only academic requirement was a 2.1 or a first in a relevant discipline. I am yet to receive the offer details from the University's PG team (which will detail the requirements etc) but I'm wondering whether the offer could be conditional? Obviously I already sent them my transcripts but I'm worried about whether they'd want me to achieve certain % for my MSc to give me the studentship. I know they have interviewed people and will offer places to students who have yet to receive their Bachelor's, so I'm not sure whether they'd have expectations for my Msc. Anyone was in a similar situation? What happened?
