Hi everyone,
I’ve got an unconditional offer reading for a 3 yr Dphil in Medical Science Division, Oxford last year. However, I deffered the offer by a year because of lack of funding.
I need to make up my mind now whether I should take up or let go the offer starting from Oct 2016.
The situration is that I only got money, mainly from my parents’ saving and myself, to cover 1.5 years of my overseas fee and daily expenses. It will be unlikely for me to get departmental based or govt scholarship due to the deferral status.
How likely would it be possible to find funding after starting the Dphil? Would it be too risky to start the course with only half of the funding I need in the 3 yers ahead?
Thanks for all your suggestions.
Cheers
