Wow -you've been so helpful! Thank you very much :)
That's really clarified things. I've literally just set up a regular amount of money to go into a savings account i've lablled phd savings and the same amount for my daughters savings incase she too wants to go to uni as am apprehensive as to what the removal of the cap will mean for her (and me) lol.
thank u- my uni say its a Dphil in renaissance studies for example. So if you do a PhD/ Dphil it's in a subject specifically - i thought you go to the univerity and discuss your proposal rather than applying to do a specific reserahc degree. As you can tell i am in the early stages of looking into doing this
Thanks for your help :) what's the difference between an MPHIL, DPHIL AND PhD?
Thanks for all your swift replies :) I'm doing the MA part time as i am a single mum. I'm abit scared at continuing my MA if i can't then go on to do the PhD because they didn't like the research project or i can't afford to do it. I love my course but it's hard juggling it with my 6 month old. I am worried i'm going to pay £15,000+ just so i can be a lecturer. My MA is £4800 over 2 years :-O
I've just started my MA in english with the sole purpose of wanting to go on and do a PhD and lecture. Then i read it can cost £6000 a year to do a PhD(!)
Can anyone please give me an idea of tuition fees and how likely or unlikely it wuld be to get funding and whast sort of grade they are looking for if so, eg. 2:1, 1st?
Many thanks
hi there,
i've decided to go part time on my masters course and work full-time to pay for it. I have nothing saved and no funding and so will be paying my fees monthly. Has anyone done this? I want to move to the area in which the uni is to feel more part of the uni and to really focus on my work. At the moment i am going to be commuting one day a week and working 4 days a week, living at home with my mum.
But i'm worried that if i live there i'll be paying rent and fees and might struggle a lot... any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

to get some funding would be great. Thanks for your advice. Are they pretty picky about giving who they give out these loans to?
Hi,
i was thinking of trying one of those but it says it is for vocational subjects so i doubt that includes english lit. Well worth ago- why is it a rip off?
Hi all,
i've got an offer for the MA in sussex uni to do the early modern literature course. However, i have no way of paying for it other than with working in a low paid job full-time and commuting to get to lectures.
Am now thinking i might have to go part-time and move down to the uni area...
any thoughts please.
