1.
Will I most likely need a masters degree before I can do a PhD?
2.
Can I get funding to do a PhD in the same way that undergraduate study is funded?
3.
Do most people doing full-time PhDs live in their own rented accomodation or university accomodation? If I live on my own, will I have enough money from a part-time job to be able to support myself for the duration of my PhD?
4.
How intelligent do you have to be to do a PhD and get your thesis accepted?
5.
Can I work within the university whilst doing a PhD? If so, how common is it to do this?
6.
Is it worth it? I've always wanted to do it as I love learning and if I could, I'd be in education forever, but career-wise, is it going to give me an advantage?

1.
Yes
2.
No. No postgraduate study is funded like this. You fund yourself or get a career development loan from either Barclays or the Co-op.
3.
How can any of us know this?
4.
Very.
5.
Sometimes, but mostly STEM subjects.
6.
Unlikely to be cost effective in monetary terms, but that shouldn't be the reason you want to do it. Nobody is going to be especially thrilled by your English PhD outside academia.
