Sounds about right :tongue: oooooooh well done then! Is postgrad still your top choice?


:yes:
Mine has 8 places and there are usually 31 applicants.

At the department of my current university, they usually take one out of nine applicants.

:confused: It's a funded programme (Wellcome Trust). Although internationals will have to pay the difference between overseas and home rate, if I get it I'd cross my fingers for funding from university and college pots. Plus there's quite a generous stipend so I'd just use that and consider the actual stipend to be less.
