Hi All,

I am currently a funded PhD student at a very good University but have been thinking my position through over the past month and have decided that I may well opt to leave to pursue other career interests. Out of interest, does anybody know if I could downgrade (so to speak) and obtain an MRes or MPhil? I am around eight months in to my studies so feel that an MRes might be a better option but I'm not too sure if this is possible.

I'd be very grateful for any feedback from users on here before I approach my supervisors.

Thanks for reading.

Can someone advise me on attending overseas conferences.

How are such trips funded and on average, how many does a student make per year / during the duration of the PhD?

Thanks

Can someone please tell me if PhD income (studentship or sponsor) is taxed? I've been told it is'nt.

Hi all,

I am considering doing a PhD and am just curious about Studentships.

Is it acceptable/allowed to apply for two studentships, one from a Research body (i.e. ESRC) and one from the University - thus having the potential of receiving two grants? Is this allowed or is it strictly, one grant per student?

Thanks!
