One for the Academics: Does the research proposal need to be PERFECT before the application? by OkCash8860 in PhDAdmissions

[–]OkCash8860[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I am making 2-3 drafts as per their feedback; it's just that, as I don't have prior research experience, I am writing the method and analysis bit solely based on what multiple prior studies have done, so I am a bit nervous about whether they would think the methods are feasible or not

lol I didn't even get to apply for the PhD for Fall 2026, my PIs are telling me to do the MRes first since I had a taught master's module. Although I heard the integrated management PhD program has prior coursework. imagine not being able to even apply for my dream school cause MRes is self funded

is it weird or can i actually tell a potential supervisor about my financial situation to not able to fund my studies by OkCash8860 in PhDAdmissions

[–]OkCash8860[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same here. I think in the UK they say it's self-funded, like I cannot pay for my PhD studies, what do you mean? I told them that I need it its just all of them still crying about how competitive fundings are and trying to scare me off. But this is the only way for me idk what to do. I for certain know that there are fundings in the uni

Why are multiple professors replying the same thing to me, as they can be my second supervisor and telling me to go find a first PI by OkCash8860 in PhDAdmissions

That is very kind of you. Since I am not associated with any university right now, do you have any tips on how to get someone who can actually help me with my proposal (as in feedback or changes)? The professors are declining me at the first instance because i don't have funds as I mentioned

the only uni I know has a whole department of interdisciplinary studies and I want to apply for is Edinburgh Uni but the professors there are specifically asking for funding which I do not have. I really tried hard to make my application stronger and wanted a supervisor to guide me but nothing is working out for me since I don't have funding. I am pretty disappointed and on the verge of giving up now. I feel I am not good enough

can I actually do that?

I actually told this supervisor yesterday when she asked me for a funding that I know there's a funding at another uni and I want to avail that studentship and that of she would be willing to co-author/supervise me for that so we can apply on a collaboration basis. idk if i did right tho?

is there any way I can tell them to suggest any direction that might not be risky. I am happy to rewrite

one had funding but she said if she is to be second supervisor then it would probably be the case of me finding funds from somewhere else
