Thanks you all for your response. I decided to add more information so you can see why i think i have been discriminated. I have a 2.1 in Enginneering, I also have 2 masters degree,infact, I am currently on my third one and all in Engineering.

My first application-- I applied for an advertised studentship to a scottish University- suddently, I got a letter from them after 2weeks saying---Sorry, there is no one to supervise your proposed topic". I quickly replied them and told them that I didnt propose a topic but only responded to an advertised studentship--Till today they ignored me and didnt reply me.

Second Application,-- I applied for an studentships advertised to take 25 students- after , a week, they asked for my British passport., i quickly send it to them. after three weeks, i got an email---- "Sorry although your application is very strong, competion was high and you have been unsuccessful". I am black and in late 30s.

Hello, Any Part Time Phd Student out there?.. I am now planning starting a Phd as a part time student. I have tried to get a studentship but it is all clear that i cannot get one because of my colour despite I have been told a number of times without interview" Although your application is very strong, you have been unsuccessful" e t c, Do people doing Phd Part time really finish it? any Advice?

Hello Josie,

How are you enjoying your Studies. Please can you give me an idea of the questions you were asked during your Phd interview. I am planning attending one very soon.

Regards
Tony
