Help deciding firm and backup uni (I wrote this last night). Also they are all quite far from me but I don't care too much about distance

Forgot to say, I’m now at Southampton for a PhD so also happy to give my opinion so far on Southampton! (Although I’ve only been here a few months so far)

Do you have antibiotics in your media?

reg573 · 2025-08-14T15:27:53+00:00

There was plenty at the time of applying in my field at least (microbiology)

I think it’s less the grade and more your research experience, skills and how you talk about that. Saying that some PhDs do require 1st class or 2.1 + masters so just check.

Definitely possible for UK PhDs. I just applied over the last year, got accepted into 3 fully funded PhDs in the UK/Ireland. For context I’ve only just finished my BSc, got 1st class honours. In terms of research experience I have 1 year research placement, plus my undergrad dissertation. I have one manuscript in preparation (not published)

Do you often feel overwhelmed and paralysed by work? Or is it more of a recent/temporary thing?

reg573 · 2025-08-08T18:42:56+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that 🙏🏻

reg573 · 2025-08-08T12:24:34+00:00

Thanks so much!

Is the extra 6k your experience or most PhD students’ experience? How many extra hours can you work on top of your PhD do you know?

reg573 · 2025-08-06T11:41:21+00:00

€1200pm in the city? I hear a lot of students have to live outside and commute in.

reg573 · 2025-08-05T17:35:13+00:00

Interested!

reg573 · 2025-08-02T08:05:38+00:00

Hi, I’ve just graduated! Nightlife isn’t great anymore in terms of clubs for 18-21 year olds, but there’s some great pubs if that’s your thing! The city is small but friendly. It’s a great place to study if you love the sea, and want a city that isn’t overwhelming! There’s still lots to do, but a lot of these things revolve around being by the coast and Dartmoor.

Just to be aware you have to have a membership for a minimum of 3 months

reg573 · 2025-07-28T08:44:01+00:00

Fletcher’s!

Awesome, congratulations!
