Hi all
Just looking for some advice as I am currently considering a PhD in history. A really good opportunity has come up so I feel I should go for it but I also have some reservations at present.
I would like to know what PhD life is like, as in the typical stuff you have to do and the workload etc. How much input do you get from supervisors, do you teach, how many conferences do you go to/present at.
Also would welcome funding tips. This is a funded student ship with a stipend of £15k. Is that yearly? Or for the duration of the PhD? Also if you get this can you apply for the government grant.
Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you!
