Hi!
I am a Cambridge perspective student and I am going to start a MASt in Physics if I fulfil the requirements of the conditional offer I have received.
I am not English, I have studied outside UK thus far. My aim is a PhD, but in UK I would not be funded unless exceptional circumstances.
According to you, how's this idea:
getting a MASt and then a MPhil(provided I'll be admitted) in Cambridge to earn a coherent and complete postgraduate education, in order to pursue a PhD in every possible country of the World?
This way, I would avoid the problem of not being funded for a possible PhD, because I think that after a 9 months MASt I could only hope to be admitted to a UK PhD. Instead, after another year and a consistent research experience at the Cavendish Laboratory(very renowned and of high quality I hope), I think I will maximize my chances of being admitted to a good funded PhD(Switzerland, America after GRE, Germany, UK with scholarship. Canada). I would have to self-fund only 2 years(MASt + MPhil), instead of 4+(MASt+PhD).
The drawback is that I would start a PhD at the age of 25, but all people under the Bologna accord do it at least at the age of 24(I have lost a year for a variety of reasons, but in the meanwhile getting IELTS for confirming admissions to Cambridge).
Obviously, I am hoping(so implying) of being able to attain good results, though I am not sure at all, but I am optimistic in order to plan.
Thanks
