I've already asked elsewhere and got no answer so if anyone can help I'll be really grateful.
I'd like to apply to do a DPhil following an MA (Humanities field), my question is: do they take the MA into consideration? The closing date for applications is early January, by which time I'll have been on Masters course for three months. Isn't that a bit early for references and results? I'm assuming this is normal procedure but how can the MA really count so early on? Would they base their decision on my BA result, and of course a research proposal?
If there is someone with experience of this I'd love to hear about it.
